About this place
Gaikhai Medium Irrigation Project (M.I.P.) is a peaceful water reservoir located in the Patnagarh block, about 30 km from Balangir town. Flanked by verdant hillocks and dense forests on three sides, the reservoir is formed by a dam built across a local stream. It serves as a vital irrigation source for agricultural lands in the region while double-functioning as a scenic recreation spot.
