The beauty of this place is very amazing, so tourists and locals come here to picnic near the dam in winter. There is a hilltop view near the reservoir where you can enjoy the beauty of Baldiha Dam in the morning and evening. As the dam is surrounded by hills and forests, it is a great place for photo shoots. Balidiha Dam is one of the tourist picnic spots near Baripada, Mayurbhanj. Similipal Eco Cottage is only 5 km from Balidiha Dam.
Nestled amidst lush greenery, with Similipal forest hills as a backdrop, the dam overflows gracefully in monsoon—cascading over steps that make for great photo moments and create a serene ambience. Balidiha Dam is a rich irrigation structure, a picturesque hotspot. While it faces engineering challenges that limit its original agricultural purpose, it remains a photogenic and peaceful destination. With restoration, it could reclaim both its irrigation role and bolster ecotourism in Mayurbhanj.
