Maliguda Tunnel
ମାଲିଗୁଡ଼ା ସୁଡ଼ଙ୍ଗ
A high-altitude broad-gauge tunnel on the Visakhapatnam–Kirandul railway. Riding a train through the Eastern Ghats here is a scenic journey.
Maliguda Tunnel lies north of Koraput and is considered one of India's highest broad-gauge railway tunnels. It is on the Kottavalasa–Kirandul (KK) line, which crosses the Eastern Ghats. The best way to experience it is to take a passenger train from Visakhapatnam through the Araku Valley to Koraput or Kirandul, passing dozens of tunnels and viaducts along the way. You can also drive to nearby spots to watch trains entering and leaving the tunnel, but do not linger on the tracks.
