The things we’d do to hit the road again. A combination of self-search, adventure and leisure, the open road with all its romance is calling us and we are ready to embrace the next big adventure. Welcoming every wanderer with open arms, Odisha’s scenic roads can put most of our expressways to shame. Be it the Puri-Konark stretch via NH 203 or the road leading up to the magnificent Daringbadi, meandering through the winding roads in the backdrop of lush, unspoilt nature is as close to tranquillity as we can get. Home to some of the most exquisite temples and beaches, the laidback and sun stretched state is flanked by treasures reminiscent of the glorious past. Going beyond Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark are virgin places and experiences for those willing to hit the road on an adventurous whim.

Nestled amidst dense forests, the Duduma waterfalls tearing through the rugged rocks of the Eastern Ghats are one of the most exhilarating sights in the state. Originating from the Machkund River, the backbone of the Machkund Hydro Electric Power Project, it is the third highest waterfall in Odisha. Sitting on the Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border, it has two sub-waterfalls.
