Feel the Machhkund river drop ~175 metres into a forested gorge on the Odisha–Andhra border — raw spray, deep roar, and viewpoints that stop you mid-step.
Duduma is one of the highest and most powerful waterfalls in the region — the Machhkund river plunges around 175 metres into a forested gorge on the border of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. The spray, the sound and the surrounding hills make it unforgettable, especially in the months after the monsoon.
The site is tied to the Machhkund hydro-electric project, and there are viewpoints from which to take in the full drop. It pairs naturally with a tribal-market morning on the Malkangiri side.
