The total length of the river is about 256 kilometers and the catchment area of the basin is 9410 sq. km. Hatipathar, near Rayagada, is a place of great scenic beauty with two spectacular much visited waterfalls until 2006 when flash flooding totally destroyed them and diverted the course of the River Nagavali.
