The waterfall itself is reached by climbing up a flight of stairs. There is then a trail which follows the feeder stream. This eventually leads on up the mountain but can be overgrown. This being the case, there a number of rubber tapper paths which can be found traversing right which will eventually come out onto a steep dirt track. You can follow this to the summit passing hermit-like quaint shacks used by individual tappers. No real views up top though due to undergrowth and trees but a pleasant hike.
It is steep coming down so good gripping soles are necessary and it will be extremely slippery if wet. Trekking poles or a stave recommended.
Near the bottom you will pass a house on the left with barking dogs. Keep to the right of the track and ignore them and they shouldn't bother you. Having poles/stave also helps put them off.

Small but nice waterfall. Just to chillax. No ticket.
Can do small trekking. Near the elephant sanctuary and tiger kingdom. You can walk or ask locals for a ride.

The stream was very weak and not as spectacular as expected. Not sure why the tourism sites are not looked after, as the place can offer so much more. No signage is visible. As a minimum have this in place. Nevertheless, go visit after some good rains and enjoy the beauty of Nature. As you enter, you get to the base waterfall, take the stairs further up to get to the second waterfall. Once the stairs stop, there are only walking paths thereafter, so no need to go further.

I love the area, it looks miraculous and sleepy, like small jungle village, very peaceful ambience.

The stairs lead to the waterfall, if you want to see only it, you won’t need anything, you up there in 5 minutes.

After stairs you can find a hike. We did it with two kids, it was hard for them, but they did it. It was slippery though. But everybody were in proper shoes. Still slippery but a bit better at least.

The hike is short, but longer with kids. If you are alone, 15 min up maximum.

It leads to a dirt road and you can find a beginning of waterfall to the left side. It looks nice, but you don’t have to hike for it solely. Just for exercise.

The path is ok, way down is ok, too, because it is not long.

There are several cafes in the down part.

The entrance is free.

Nice Little waterfall, especially the second one. You can remove your shoes to relax.

Like other review, I recommend if you have nothing else to do and have free time.

Beautiful view for a small waterfall.

A lot of stairs to go up
