Overcrowded, people recklessly dive into the water as if they had never seen water before. Completely commercialized and overpriced (shops sell a small ₹5 Parle-G packet for ₹10). There is a young attendent working at gondola who is extremely rude and mannerless, probably doesn't know how to talk to people. A beautiful place turned into a mess.

Kempty Falls is a beautiful and refreshing place surrounded by hills and greenery. The waterfall is scenic and enjoyable, especially during the monsoon. It can get quite crowded, but overall it’s a nice spot to visit and enjoy nature.
