Hatipathar, Rayagada
Hatipathar, Rayagada (Odisha)

Hatipathar is one of the identified Tourist Centres[1][2] (scenic spots)[3][4] located in Rayagada district of the Indian state of Odisha.[5][6] The Centre is situated at a distance of 3km from the town Rayagada. The name “Hatipathar” comes from the Odia words “hati” (elephant) and “pathar” (rock). It is derived from the two boulders on a nearby hill which look like elephants.[7][8][9][10] 2006 heavy rains changed the course of the river Nagavali and damaged the proposed 10 MW Small H.E. Project,[11] which caused the site to become closed to visitors.[12] However, a revival project of Hatipathar Waterfall is being taken up to give it a new look.[13]

This place is surrounded by hills that attract tourists to come here. The Maa Majhigouri temple is located just 2 km from the Hathipathar. Hatipathar Waterfall is a popular tourist attraction in Rayagada District. [14]
