Located along the Eastern ghats, lies the Kolab Reservoir in Koraput district. It is about 15 to 20 KMS away from Jeypore. It offers a spectacular view. One can definitely say this is the most beautiful district of Odisha(Koraput). There are also boating facilities available, but it's not maintained well. A visit to Koraput is incomplete without visiting the Kolab Reservoir. A must visit place.
