Simlipal National Park, 60 km from Bangriposi, is a 2,750 sq km sanctuary and a Project Tiger Reserve. Situated in the Mayurbhanj district, the park's hills, waterfalls and dense foliage hide almost 95 tigers and a number of other species. Around 230 species of birds like the Grey Hornbill, Indian Pied Hornbill, Malabar Pied Hornbill, Indian Trogon, Red Jungle Fowl, Hill Mynah, Peafowl, Alexandrine Parakeet, and Crested Serpent Eagle are found here. The National Park is also home to a large number of reptiles including snakes and turtles. The spectacular Barehipani waterfall, with a 400-metre drop, and the Joranda waterfall, with a shorter drop of 150 metres, are so beautiful that one is forced to reflect on nature's majesty. Besides the fact that there's a lot of wildlife to be seen in Simlipal, there's also a wide range of local flora; the park boasts of at least 82 species of orchids many of which are on show at the small display at Gurguria. The other attractions of the Simlipal National Park are Mugger crocodiles at Jashipur apart from Barehipani and Joranda waterfalls.

This riverside is more fabled than the actual river. A blend of history and myth makes it interesting as well as famous. It was on the banks of the Buribalam river, where the encounter between Bengali freedom fighter Bagha Jatin and the then British commissioner, Charles Tegart, took place. A short hike of 7 kms from the bungalow, the road is replete with peasant huts, awning fields, canopied trees and the hills in the distance. On reaching the riverside, you can ride a boat upstream, simply sit on the rocks and take in the simplicity that only nature can paint or, better still, take a dip in the river!
