Geocache Description:

Freedom is what everybody wants, even water. Set it free, let it fall and see the new avatar of it, a beautiful waterfall! My Cache is just an excuse to bring you here to see this amazing waterfall in Monsoon.


This place is very crowded in Monsoon season and the cache container may go missing again so if you can't find the box just count the no of cement-concrete steps constructed there to enjoy the waterfall and mail me, I will reply you by email and then you can log it as found. enjoy!

This one is a little different waterfall, there are lots of big and small boulders fallen from above and hence the fall goes on splitting and spreading on its way. On the way the impact is taken by boulders and water drops get smaller and smaller so much so that you can go in there and take showers. Well some dare devils do that, you can see many there shouting and screaming with sheer joy and ecstasy under lashing chilled waterfall. The tourist department has built a staircase in concrete with side wall and made the water flow through it and you can enjoy going in it with your family and friends.

I came here, fell in love with the waterfall and wanted it to share with Geocaching community and hence kept one Geocache here. This one is not for kids, I had to cross the flowing water and climb wet rocks etc. Getting the coordinates was a difficult task. There are Mountains on three sides and weak or no signal on GPS. My Geocache coordinates are at the base of waterfall on the road. There are many boulders big and small; this one I have selected is off the stream of water and little away, see the images and you can get the clue, which boulder. The cache is a small plastic box in two Ziploc bags and then wrapped in milky polythene bag, visible with a small stone on it at the base of big boulder. The waterfall is in Mansoon Season only.

Caution: If it’s heavily raining the water flow increases dramatically fast and heavy, so please don’t take risk. If one slips, it’s a free fall in the valley below. During Mansoon there are landslides in this Ghat Section, be careful and confirm with local people if the Ghat is open for traffic.

OSHO says “Destiny is just an excuse; the real fun is in the Journey”. Happy Journey, Happy Geocaching!
