Madhabkunda Waterfall
A waterfall of about 50 metres, by the usual count, dropping off the Patharia hills into a pool inside an eco-park.
Madhabkunda drops from a rock face in Barlekha into a deep pool, with a short paved path from the car park. A second fall, Porikunda, is nearby and, like Madhabkunda, is fullest in the rains.
