Did you miss the spectacular sight of water gushing from unbelievable heights into the valleys this monsoon? Then, drive down to Gayatri Waterfalls in Adilabad district which is a great place to sneak out to with your gang. Most of us have heard about the famous Kuntala and Pochera waterfalls in Adilabad, but there is this little-known waterfall in the same district. With Telangana still receiving rainfall and witnessing heavy flows of water on rocky cliffs, you can plan a trip to this place soon.
One of the many waterfalls in Adilabad, Gayatri Waterfalls is away from the human eye and found its habitat in a remote place inside a deep tropical forest. This hidden gem is a heavenly retreat if someone needs some time off from the urban chaos. Though it may not be the best falls in the State, its beauty would attract you.
Cascading down the rocky cliffs, these waterfalls are surrounded by a great degree of flora and fauna. It is also called as ‘Gadidha Gundam’ or ‘Mukti Gundam’ by the villagers. This stunning waterfall cascades down from a height of 100 feet into the valley and creates a magnificent sight.  Trek to the waterfalls is of a moderate level and may not be suitable for kids.

What to visitors say?

It is a wonderful location to visit as we could enjoy a lot of greenery. The trees around falls are very attractive. Do bring your swimming shorts and enjoy under the heavy streams of water....   Priyanka Reddy ,,,,,, Hyderabad

Those who like adventure will have more fun. It is difficult to get into the bottom part of the waterfall. But, you have to get there to enjoy the water. It is better for young boys to hang out there; however, not a good place for family or couples. ...Srikanth Kumar,,,,,Adilabad
