Travel Tips

  • Hire a local guide; the path to the falls is poorly marked and easy to miss.
  • Visit during or just after monsoon for maximum water flow and verdant surroundings.
  • Carry waterproof bags and proper trekking shoes with good grip for slippery forest trails.
  • Start early morning to avoid crowds and to experience the forest ambiance.
  • Bring insect repellent and light rain jacket even during perceived dry season.
