Bara Bakhra Caves

Tucked away on the fringes of the Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Bara Bakhra Caves are a remarkable blend of history and nature. These rugged caves served as a hideout for Odisha's legendary freedom fighter, Veer Surendra Sai, during his prolonged resistance against British rule in the 19th century. Surrounded by dense forests and complemented by a picturesque waterfall, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the indomitable spirit of one of Odisha's greatest sons while immersing them in the tranquil beauty of the wilderness.
