    As usual we didn't went to normal tourist spot which people usually visit. Instead we chose to ride beside the dam which connect to Sambalpur airport.

    Every now and then guys were stopping to click pictures.
    Said goodbye to Rajesh Bhai from Lapanga as he was not prepared for the trip. Never the less you road 60 km with us which means a lot. Definitely we will ride together longer in future

    some creativity going on
    The bad part is we reached the spot at 5:30pm. So we can't explore much and we got only hour to spend on the place.

              One might thing that what's so special about the railway station. Well It is the smallest railway station of India. Not by size but by name. it's a 2 letter name I B. As you can guess it's based on the river flowing beside it.

              As we were running late were trying to make up time in good pace. we almost missed our 2nd spot. Our 2nd sightseeing spot was Kolabira Fort .
              Two brothers of the Royal family own this place now. The guy standing next to Sajal sir is the young brother.

              we requested if we can see the fort which is almost in ruins state . The young brother himself gave us a tour of the same. He told us all about his family and Britishers ruling the place.

              We also got to meet the current king, his older brother. After spending few minutes, we said good bye to the two brother's and move on to our next spot.
              We stopped in Kuchinda to eat our lunch. it was already 2pm, we have to move quickly to our next spot.


              Reached our final and 3rd sightseeing spot Gudguda Waterfall at 2:30 pm.

              There are 3 tiers of water fall. In the background you are seeing the 1st [ground level one] and the 3rd one which is way back in the picture. Due to some mishaps bathing is restricted near the 1st water fall. One has to trek 300 odd meter to reach on top of 1st water fall

              As you can see the trek is quite steep not to mention also through a narrow route.

              I don't know who's idea it was to take bath in freezing water at 3:30 pm . Never the less we did posed for the camera . As you can see now we are on the top of 1st waterfall and behind us the small waterfall is 2nd one. and way back you got the 3rd one . It will take 1hr more to trek that far . As we were short on time we decide not to go further.

              It's 4 pm now we left the Gudguda Waterfall. Somehow we missed a turn and took a detour of 15-20 km more. We have to mention that route are supper amazing smooth. Finally we came out of forest and join the state highway 143 near Banei. Refilled our tank and move on. we took some rest near Barkote and then again in Pallahara.

              As it was pitch dark now. We had to ride slow even though roads are smooth. Reached this New Surya Dhaba near Kulei at 10:30 pm.

                      Bhai don't say Grand canyon, it will give too much false hope for the going rider/ tourist. The Grand Canyon is 446 km long, up to 29 km wide and attains a depth of over 6,093 feet . The above place is hardly 50-60 feet deep.

                      Somebody has already named it Grand Canyon of Odisha in google map. i tired to correct it and its still showing pending.
                      No doubt the place is beautiful but we should name it sensible also. It's better if we call it as Rocky River Bed of IB.
