About this place

The serene meeting point of three rivers deep inside forested hills, with an ancient Shiva temple on the banks. A full-day trip - the drive itself through ghat roads and villages is memorable. Maha Shivaratri sees a big fair here.

How to reach

Via Gunupur-Gudari road. A local vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended for the last stretch.

Carry water and keep the spot clean. Network coverage may be weak at remote locations.
