What to Expect

Expect a stunning natural spectacle, especially during or just after the monsoon (July to October). You'll likely take a shared jeep safari from the entry point through the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, which is an adventure in itself. The sight of the falls thundering down into a pool is breathtaking. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends and during peak season. The water can be cold, and the rocks are slippery. You'll get wet, so carry a change of clothes. There are basic changing rooms and food stalls. The journey involves a bit of walking and climbing over rocks to get closer to the falls.
