Barehipani Waterfall

The history of Barehipani Falls is intertwined with the history of the Simlipal National Park. The park was initially a hunting ground for the Maharaja of Mayurbhanj. Realizing the ecological importance of the area, it was declared a sanctuary in 1956 and later a national park in 1980. Barehipani Falls, being a significant part of the park's ecosystem, gained prominence along with the park's conservation efforts. The falls have been a source of water and sustenance for the local tribal communities for generations. While there are no specific historical events directly linked to the falls themselves, their presence has undoubtedly shaped the lives and culture of the people living in the surrounding areas. Today, it stands as a testament to the region's natural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
