A
seasonal waterfall, the Umbrella
Falls are in full
buoyancy only during the months of the monsoon season. Located subtly near the
Wilson Dam, the Umbrella Falls is fast becoming a tourist hotspot in the state
of Maharashtra.
The
Umbrella Falls is a pictorial spot below the
Wilson Dam wall at Bhandardara in the Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra. In
full burst only seasonally, the Umbrella
Falls are best visited
during the monsoon season. The water from the Umbrella Falls
also serves an important economic purpose- it is widely used for the
hydroelectric power generation and is one of the primary sources for the same
from within in and around that region.
The
only drawback about the Umbrella Falls is that it’s only worth visiting when
the rain is pouring down and water levels in the Arthur Lake and Pravara River
are on the rise. Apart from that, the Umbrella Falls is a spectacular tourist
destination and while there are plenty of beautiful waterfalls scattered all
over the country, it doesn’t take away anything from the ethereal splendour of
the gushing Umbrella Falls. If you’re looking to explore a bit around the Umbrella Falls,
make your way to the 45 m high Randha Falls, the Arthur
Lake or the Wilson Dam,
all of which are extremely close by, essentially in the same vicinity. A
holiday including a visit to this fall is one that no family will ever regret!
Tag this as important on your travel list and look forward to an utterly
breathtaking destination!
