I would recommend visiting this place mainly during the monsoon season to see the waterfall. Otherwise, you might end up feeling a little disappointed as the waterfall may not be as impressive. There is a short walk to reach the waterfall, but the walk itself is quite relaxing, surrounded by greenery and nature. You’ll also come across plenty of monkeys along the way, which makes the experience a little more interesting. Overall, a nice place to visit during the monsoon and enjoy some time in nature.
