The Baripada Railway Station serves Baripada, the headquarters of Mayurbhanj district in the Indian state of Odisha.
History[]
In 1905, Mayurbhanj State Railway linked Rupsa with Baripada on the Howrah–Chennai main line through a narrow-gauge line, then extended it further. The Rupsa-Baripada-Bangriposi line was converted to broad gauge between 1996 and 2006.[1] Currently, Train No. 12891 leaves Baripada at 5:10 AM and reaches Bhubaneswar at 10:00 AM. The return train leaves Bhubaneswar at 5:10 PM and reaches Baripada at 10:00 PM.
Simlipal National Park[]
Jashipur via NH 6 is normally considered to be the gateway to Simlipal National Park, but it can also be reached from Baripada, which is 50 km away.[2] The normal entry is through the Pithabhata check gate.[3] In addition to wildlife, Simlipal National Park offers views of the waterfalls Joranda Falls and Barehipani Falls.[4]
