Highlights
- Tall waterfall in thick Nallamala forest
- Scenic forest approach road
- Combines with the Srisailam highway ride
Good to know
- Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road is closed to two-wheelers, so leave the city on the regular highways, not the ORR.
- Final approach is about 8 km of forest road; go slowly and expect no mobile network.
- Sources disagree on step count (roughly 250 to 350); the stairs are slippery in the monsoon.
- Visit during daylight, ideally before about 2 PM, and be out of the forest before the night closure of the Srisailam highway gates.
- Entry hours are roughly sunrise to sunset; confirm the entry fee and timings on the day.
