Watch scenic views and take hike near the water-falls to enjoy the first kiss of humid clouds of sprayed-water rising from the stones, and settling on your skin like an invisible flying butterfly! Also, do check the beautiful tribal bamboo craft that you’ll find near the entrance and do take the “mahooda-flowers” to decorate your household! There are many home décor pieces there which reflects the keen Adivasi (tribal) culture and it’s unique in its own way!
Reverse Waterfall
Sandhan Valley also known as Maharashtra's Grand Canyon which is a magical place to be in monsoon. A waterfall comes alive only for this season and it flows in reverse!
A scenic beauty that many are fortunate to capture, the waterfall flows upwards. This natural phenomenon occurs when high winds hit the area and their updrafts force the water to blow back upstream resulting in a reverse waterfall! Not just the reverse waterfall the place is enigmatic to look at which lush green grass, interesting pathways it's a trekker's paradise.
Just when you think you have covered and seen all of it you might stumble upon another waterfall.
Umbrella Waterfall
Look at the umbrella shaped waterfall in Bhandardara only a few hours away from Surat! The view is breathtaking as the fall is encircled by lush green hills. The drive to the view is also pleasant and charming.
It's shaped like an umbrella due to the huge rock formations the water falls upon and therefore is named Umbrella Waterfall. Every monsoon it is visited by hundreds of tourist too look at the charming view and enjoy the cascading water. Surrounded by nature, it's the best place to be on a weekend.
The city's hustle bustle is never going to stop but your worries will at these waterfalls. A calm and serene place with just the sound of water merging in the river blissful to hear and look at.
So we say, get your adventure mode on and start planning!
