The Mighty Cascade
Duduma Waterfall is one of Odisha's most spectacular natural landmarks. Formed by the rushing waters of the Machkund River, the waterfall drops approximately 210 metres through dense forest before joining the reservoir below. The sheer power of the cascade and the surrounding green landscape create a mesmerising spectacle.
The waterfall is at its most impressive during and just after the monsoon season (August to October), when the river is swollen and the fall is a thundering curtain of white water. During winter months, the waterfall is more accessible and safer for photography and short treks in the area.
Tips
