A Helicopter strip was temporarily constructed in the playground adjacent to the government college campus, which is occasionally used in Kondagaon.

The town is known for the foodies,[clarification needed] being migrants and settlers from various parts of India including the south and the north.

The bell metal craft practiced by most of the craftsmen in the town and the adjacent villages is a form of almost extinct wax sculpting art.

Some of the celebrated craftsmen of the bell-metal art forms are the late Dr. Jaidev Baghel (a national awardee), Sushil Sakhuja, Sukchand, and Suresh Baghmare.

A couple of hillocks that skirt the eastern outskirts of the town (Kondagaon) have been revamped as a tourist park by the forest department.
