About this place

Named after two giant elephant-shaped rocks, Hatipathar is Rayagada's favourite picnic ground where the Nagavali river rushes through rocky rapids forming a small waterfall. Ideal for family outings - carry your own food and avoid deep water.

How to reach

Just 3 km from town towards Kolnara side; autos and bikes reach the spot easily.

Carry water and keep the spot clean. Network coverage may be weak at remote locations.
