The Waterfall depends on rain and hence you can enjoy the waterfall only for 3 or 4 months in a year. The waterfall descends from a height of about 5-6 meters in two steps and it is very beautiful to watch the waterfall. This is a virgin waterfall and hence no modern facilities are available here.
The waterfall is safe but the way to the waterfall is a bit risky as you have to climb down to the waterfall and the path is narrow and slippery. Even though the force of the water is less the rocks may be slippery so please stay safe.
