Khanaspur Waterfalls


Just like the other concealed spots of Khanaspur, the three waterfalls are also not known to many. We too only knew about two waterfalls only, as was told to us by people, unless we tracked down the source of the second waterfall and found the third waterfall there. It is indeed a miraculous place with lot of hidden mysteries still needed to be discovered.

So we started our journey by first booking a local Suzuki pick up, although we can take our own cars, but it’s better to hire local; because first, to get to the right place without getting distracted and second, because sometimes routes are risky. We travelled down the hill on routes that kept switching from one side to the other of those big mountains. It offered us a variety of views to cherish. On our way, we saw the first waterfall that was so small that only one or two persons could stand under it.

We didn’t stop there because it was not a family spot neither did we find it that attractive, just being honest. We moved forward cherishing the beauty of the place and finally stopped on a bridge. Oh! So we had finally reached. The bridge was above the big water stream coming from the second waterfall. We went down the bridge to the water.

 It was a fresh warm water stream reflecting the lush green mountains around, with goats grazing on them and little girls from the village playing and jumping from the big rock into the water. There were small one step terraces with water flowing on them and those girls had smartly blocked the water with small stones to control the water flow; making them a small hose to jump in.

Then we moved on on foot to find the actual source of water. The way was rocky and not for everyone to step onto. It was quite with no human existence. Haunting for those who feel like and only worth visiting during the day time. There on the way, we found another and more beautiful waterfall. Although it was thin but what attractive was the small bowl of rock it was falling in. This makes you stop, take a deep breath and never go back to where you came from.
