BAREHIPANI: The sparkling forests, the overwhelming waterfalls and the scattered retreating clouds in the clear autumn sky create most enchanting scenery and leaves an unforgetable memory in the minds of the visitors.

Barehipani is a beautiful scenic spot in the Similipal hills where the water is falling from a height of 1308 feet. The view near the waterfall and along the downward course of the river Burhabalanga is very captivating. There is an inspection bungalow near the waterfall.

For development of Similipal including protection of forest, Development of roads, provision of facilities for tourists, etc., the Similipal Development Corporation has been established by the Government of Orissa.

DUMDUMA: Duduma is about 65 Km. from Jeypur via Lamptaput in Koraput district. Near Badigoda the river Machhakund falls from a mountain-top of 540.119 feet(157.5 meters) and amount of discharge is 104 cubic feet per second. As the water has been diverted, there is now a treacle of water, flowing down the precipice instead of the picturesque waterfall.

For the purpose of generating hydro-electric power by harnessing the river, detailed investigation was started in 1941. Towards 1946 the implementation of the Machhakund Hydro-electric scheme started. The flow of water has been diverted by a diversion weir and through tunnels, and it is finally let down through pipes to the power-house. The Machhakund Hydro-electric project is a joint scheme of Orissa and Andhrapradesh Governments. One has to move on a winch to reach power-house. There is also a zigzag   path to reach the power-house by jeep. The whole path is full of natural scenery and green foliage of wooded trees.

The Machhakund is regarded as the famous Matsya Tirtha, a place of pilgrimage. The place is associated with the name of Sri Chaitanya, who is said to have visited it in the early part of the 16th century A.D. The Machhakund town has good communication to roam around. There is a good inspection bungalow under the control of Machhakund Project authorities.
