An amazing trek for those of you with orienteering skills is this 4-mile out-and-back off-trail hike that leads you to not one, not two, but three beautiful cascades.
📍Laxmankund Waterfall is the Hidden Arsenal of the Sitakund waterfall; of Similipal biosphere, Mayurbhanj, Odisha
Myth of laxmankund waterfall the name of Hindu goddess Sita Devi As per legend Ram , laxman and sita took his bath in this pool ..& Rama, Sita and Lakshmana – lived during their years in exile and it was the 3rd waterfall of sitakund.
To Reach this spot you will have to trek up a steep mountain, which could take anywhere between two hours.
The adventure begins just 2.5-miles North west of the Sitakund Waterfall, where you park in a narrow gravel pull-off and bushwhack your way down along a creek bed to the banks of Sitakund (this is why you need to have a GPS and map and compass). From there, it’s pick-your-way to the north along the banks of the creek until, at mile 0.7, you arrive at the first waterfall, the 3rd fall was 150-foot-tall, 40-foot-wide cascade known as Laxmankund Waterfall
You should plan on a minimum of three hours to complete the hike (not including breaks and time to appreciate the falls).
