One long, good day. It works if you sleep in Koraput the night before, start at eight and accept that the two big waterfalls wait for a second visit.

What to skip and why
Duduma is a three-hour drive each way and Gupteswar two and a half; either one eats the whole day. Rani Duduma and Nandapur fit only if you drop Kolab, which is the better trade in the monsoon when the falls are full. Ask us and we will re-cut the day.
If you can add a night
One extra night turns this into the 2-day plan with Rani Duduma and Nandapur on the second day.
