"Kakolat water Fall"

Posted by Dangi

Aug 11, 2009

Kakolat Experience: This is a very popular water fall in this region and the central govt has issued a postal ticket on this too. The fall is very beautiful, surrounded by hills and forests...one can feel cold even in hot summer after having a bath here...

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: This is a very good picnic spot and very crowded on weekends in summer. Try to avoid Saturdays and Sundays - gets much crowded here.

Activities & things to do: Water fun activities, swimming and mountaineering.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: As this is located in a forest and away from population, for safety, it is advisable to return to the main market before dark.
