Batrish Singahsan or Kings 32 step throne. As we came to know that pandit ji will be late by 30 min we decided to visit the waterfall first and visit this place on our way-back.

On our way to Rani Duduma waterfall

One slip and you are gone. We are more than 100ft high

Up to this point bike can go. After this the slope is more than 40 deg.

Bolo Sandeep Baba Ki jai ho.

The King of Jeypore Sri Vikaramaditya used this place for administration purposes. Usually after hunting in the nearby forest area, Vikaramditya used to come to this place and sit in the throne which was placed at a small hill top connected with 32 steps. This throne was known as Vikaramadityas Batrish Singahsan or Kings 32 step throne. By sitting on this throne, the king use to deliver excellent judgement on the issues of the people. There are several stories written about the justice delivered by the king sitting on this throne.

Jolaput Reservoir

This Jolaput Dam is the state border of Odisha & Andhra Pradesh. As we cross the dam we moved Into A.P Territory

Machkund Dam - As we cross this dam we cross back into Odisha territory. That guy beside Taufique. 5Km back we gave him a lift. As he said that he is on his way to Onukudelli & will help us guide across this dam. Now he started saying that he will take us to some temple at the base of Duduma waterfall and we have to pay him money. At 12 pm that guy was drenched with alcohol. We decided enough is enough and drop him at Onukudelli.

We rode back To Duduma.

Duduma Waterfalls by Anupam Behera, on Flickr

To see all three waterfalls at a time, we have to go down 800 steps and 100 meters on foot. On our way down lots of people were coming back and they were asking us to turn back and saying lots of -ve thing. But after riding for 1300+ km there was no chance of turning back. Specially the one which we missed last time. Smruti sit out of this trekking, as he have bit problem with height.

Finally we made it to the bottom. These two waterfalls are from A.P side

Water was so cold one can barely keep his foot inside.

This one is from Odisha Side.

Deepankar after puking his guts out. He said enough is enough, lets take a selfie

. Jokes aside, we remember Sajal Sheth Bhai word that in that area there is no option for lunch. Hence we took lots of banana, biscuit & water with us. Still then those are not enough for body. Hence deepanker suffered the most.

Sunset at Duduma.

We got refreshed and start our ride to Araku. On our way around Chatua [Odisha border], Mr Taufique killed a Puppy by running over it. We reached Araku around 7:30. As most the day cell was out of service we first informed our respective home. Since we had skip lunch and after all those trekking we were feeling hungry & cold. So we decided to have some food first. We parked around Araku Railway station and went to small local shop for snacks. It was hilarious scene, any thing that came out of cocking pan were finished in seconds. Then we start our search for hotel and luckily we found one and checked in at 9pm. We got freshened up and went back to valley for dinner. Ate our dinner, fill the fuel on our way back. Called it a day and went straight to sleep. Total distance covered 189 km

I had a weird start to this morning. I unknowingly brushed my teeth with Boro Plus but corrected it ASAP

.

Our hotel In Araku

Dumbriguda - was a disappointment rather. There is hardly any water. And the place has been littered like anything.

Galikonda View Point - another overrated place. The only thing good about the place was roasted corn.

Coffee plantation

Mr Taufique Raza did loads of shopping here. Rest of us just drank cup of coffee. Taufique did tell us that he will invite us all to his home for coffee and dinner. We are still waiting

Sambit & Sandeep went in to enquire about it but came back disappointed

To kill the boredom few of them tried archery. Smruti 1^st

Dr Babu next

Hope you guys can see where I was standing and taking all the pics

Now this fellow Sambit starts shooting. After taking one shot I left the place and the very next moment he shot an arrow to the same spot. Lucky day!!! Bach gaya Anupam

Parked the car near katki waterfall square and decided to ride double on three bikes. After riding for 200 meters we came to know that the roads are pretty bad till the end more over its 10km long. As it was already 3:30 pm and we were yet to eat lunch we decided it to skip Katiki waterfall. We have seen the water level in three places no point in going to another one. We thought we will visit the Bora cave and leave for Bbsr by 4:30 pm.

One can see the water level of the river, so we make the correct decision.

One more time Bora cave

Climbed the steel stairs to visit the small Siva Temple

Siva Temple.

After this we started our ride back to Bbsr. We started looking for hotel or dhaba for lunch but sadly every kitchen was closed. After riding for 30 km or so at Bowdara Junction we found a small dhaba were food was still available. Finished our lunch at 5:30 pm and restarted our journey. We dropped off Sambit in Vijayanagar as he had to travel to Malkangiri next day. Then after riding 60-80 km Smruti and Taufique decided to stay in Srikakulam for the night. So I on bike and Deepankar & Sandeep with car were left. We had our dinner in Brahmapur. Restarted our journey to Bbsr at 11:30 pm. I reached home at 1:30am; Deepankar & Sambit reach Bbsr at 2am. Again Sandeep has to travel to home [Cuttack]. He reached home at 3 am. Smruti and Taufique reach Bbsr the next day at noon.

This is the last pic thanks for watching

Forgot to mention that Sajal Bhai, Satya, Siddhant & sugat were sorely missed on this road trip
