The forest has antiquity. There is mention of its immense density in the accounts of John Beames, the British civil servant. The forests around Dhenkanal was so dense that a doctor who had mistakenly given poison to the king was never heard of after he escaped into the vicinity of his habitat. Unfortunately, the forests are being depleted very fast. One can image what a cradle in the lap of nature Dhenkanal would have been in the olden days, given the relics of the woods left today.

Beautiful place with serene forest landscape.
Paradise for nature lovers.

Upto 2020 it was good nd very dense forest but due to construction work of Railway and other activities , the condition of the forest is very critical. Plants as well as animal living in this forest are crying ...Save plant Save forest Save earth
