Falls
Hundru Falls is created on the course of the Subarnarekha River, where it falls from a height of 98 metres (322 ft) creating the highest water falls in the state. The spectacular scene of water falling from such a great height has been described as a sight to behold. The different formations of rock due to the erosion by the constantly falling of water have added to the beauty of the place. [2][3][4]
