India, officially the Republic of India (IAST: Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast. It shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the northeast; and Myanmar and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

** Caution - Long thread ** If you are worried about crowd , want privacy, some metime , own the waterfalls for few hours ? Then pick the off season time and I skipped the usual waterfalls, tried to duplicate VSNU's itenary (youtuber) WONDERFUL Auto bro, trustworthy , guided for tasty breakfast and helped to cover most places in Day 1. Had a excellent trip 1) unnamed private falls 1 (beautiful and private place, i was there almost 2/3 hours ) charges 150 for a vehicle and 50RS per head there after. Double check with auto bro. Out of all the places i liked this most due to privacy and unlimited timing. 2)Erumachavadi waterfalls ( two falls on private property , one is open to public and another exclusively you can book. 200RS for public and 100 extra for private falls approx they allow for an hour . 3) Gundaru Dam-first falls i did not explore the dam much but had a bumpy and scary ride on a jeep. it was quite adventurous. Per Auto bro there are 5/6 water falls upwards. i stopped with first one little slippery and need be carefull. Best thing about this waterfalls is that you get fish pedicure at free of cost..!! Location : Tenkasi/Courtallam Budget -- stay : 650 per day /solo traveler food : approx 300-400 per day site entry/private waterfalls - 1)200 2)300 3)600 for jeep (public water falls free) Auto bro : 1500 to 2 k. (he picks up and drops you right back at your hotel, perfect gentleman and nice companion during my trip , you enjoy the natures ride and listen to your favorite tracks by connecting to his auto music gear via bluetooth) #thenkasi #tenkasi #courtallam #waterfalls #privatewaterfalls #vsnu #autobro #peaceful #privatetime #nature #beauty #explore #budgettravel #solotravel #travellers #travel #tirunelveli #gundarudam #gundarufalls #erumachavadi #erumachavadiwaterfalls

Jogini Waterfall

Reviewed By Sartaj84

It is a very good trek to take with your family. I along with my wife and my two kids thoughroughly enjoyed the whole trail and the big Jogini waterfall on the top. It was tempting to take the dip in the pond formed by the fall - only if it was not chilly in October weather.

Athirappilly Falls

Reviewed By explorekeralam_in - Kerala, India

The largest and the best waterfall in Kerala. This waterfall doesn't dry up like the other seasonal falls we come across in Kerala. Even in peak summer( April-May), there will be minimal flow ensured by the reservoirs in the upstream of the Chalakuy river. The entry tickets have to be taken from the Sholayar check-post approx a few minutes before the falls ( while coming from Chalakudy side). It is allowed to enter into the river at the top side whereas you are not allowed at the bottom of the fall. There is a dress change facility available. There are also few snack bars managed by the eco-development committee managed by the forest department. To reach the bottom of the fall there is a paved path. it is easy to walk down to the bottom of the fall but the climb up is tiring. But it is amazing to see and hear the water falling from the bottom of the falls.

Bee Falls

Reviewed By IndusExcursion - Jabalpur, India

During Pachmarhi sightseeing, we recommend to visit Bee fall. In order to visit Bee fall, you need to use gypsy as here you need to first buy visitor ticket and private cars are allowed to certain limit only, due to challenging geographical condition. Further journey is possible either by gypsy or by walking. This site also demands good physical fitness as it involves trekking. Carrying own water bottle is recommended. For senior citizens, our suggestion is to first check then proceed. Here bathing is allowed but it is better to enjoy the nature from distance and do not spoil the place by littering, shouting, disturbing other visitors.

Hebbe Falls

Reviewed By Mountaintrekkersam - Bengaluru, India

Pristine glory, thanks to the restrictions associated with a tiger reserve. Clean and green surroundings, no garbage. The ride on the jeep (only few recognised jeeps allowed) was quite an experience as the road is not surfaced. (purposely I think to avoid too many visitors) Not for weak at heart, mind or body. I am still nursing a bad neck as I rode in the rear of the jeep. This is one place which has remained unchanged even after 45 years. Highly recommend spending at least an hour (if the jeep driver obliges) sitting under the water. It was heavenly!
