The soothing-yet-scary sound
of water falling from a great height is just one of the many attractions that
beckon tourists to Gayatri Waterfalls in Adilabad district.
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.
There is a pool at the
bottom of the falls in which tourists can swim in and have a gala time clicking
pictures here. It is ideal to pack a snack and drinking water while visiting
this place as there are no eateries in the area. You need to be careful here as
the rocks are very slippery, and also take precautions while swimming in the
pool.
According to Telangana
Tourism, when one stands to face this inviting falls, they would see the
beautiful falls with a huge pool of fresh water under it. The sight is just so
amazing, as the drizzling water pecks you on your cheek, and when someone
climbs up to get a top view of the falls, you will feel captivated by a
panoramic view.

village, you have to walk 5 km to reach the waterfalls. Make sure that you are
accompanied by a villager to guide you, or you might miss the route in the
dense jungle.

Nearby places
Pochera waterfalls: At a
distance of around 20 km from Ichoda town, you will find this enthralling
waterfall. The greenery around the location is very appealing and is untouched
by the urbanisation. The waterfall has great width and height to make it the
deepest in the State. The fall is 20-metre high and flows down with a great
force. One can hear water roaring at a high pitch, exhibiting the power of
nature.
The lush green forest around
the waterfall makes it a natural habitat for reptiles, bird species, and many
insects. This falls serves as a good adventurous location. Adding spiritual
touch to the beautiful location is the Narsimha swamy temple located near the
waterfall. The waterfall which is extremely beautiful, and very scary at the
same time, is one of its kind in the entire State and is rarely found in the
country. This place may scare you during the night with only the moon lighting
it up.
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 ,,,,,,

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.

Gayatri Waterfalls is an
incredible place as the waterfall is high. Though waterfall is less known, it
is almost as high as Kuntala. It is a nice location for hiking and walking.
Moreover, this waterfalls describes the beauty of nature where you feel the
charm, peace and calmness.
