India’s diverse geography offers a treasure trove of natural wonders, but among the most mesmerizing are its hidden waterfalls—majestic cascades tucked away in lush forests, tranquil valleys, and unspoiled terrains. These are not your average tourist spots. They’re the kind of places that reward the traveler with solitude, serenity, and sheer awe.

At Gyanrachana Tours, we believe in curating unforgettable experiences that go beyond the ordinary. If you’re a nature enthusiast or an adventure seeker, these offbeat waterfall treks are your next calling. Here are some hidden waterfall trails across India you absolutely must explore.

1. Nuranang Falls – Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh

Also known as Jang Falls, Nuranang Falls is a lesser-known gem in the remote eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh. Cascading from a height of about 100 meters, this pristine waterfall is surrounded by pine forests and often cloaked in mist.

Trek Tip: A short trek from the road leads to the falls, making it perfect for beginners. The surrounding area is untouched and peaceful, ideal for meditative moments.

2. Kune Falls – Lonavala, Maharashtra

Often overshadowed by more commercial spots in Lonavala, Kune Falls is a three-tiered waterfall nestled in the heart of the Sahyadri hills. It’s the 14th highest waterfall in India and is framed by lush greenery, especially vibrant during monsoon.

Trek Tip: This moderately easy trek offers panoramic views and a refreshing dip at the base of the falls.

3. Bhagsu Waterfall – Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh

While Bhagsu is relatively popular, few venture beyond the main spot. A deeper trek beyond the regular trail takes you to the upper Bhagsu falls—a quieter, more scenic stretch perfect for nature photography and contemplation.

Trek Tip: Start early to avoid crowds, and carry snacks and water as facilities are limited past the main site.

4. Thalaiyar Falls – Dindigul, Tamil Nadu

Nicknamed the “Rat Tail Falls”, Thalaiyar is one of the highest waterfalls in India but remains largely unexplored due to its challenging access. It plunges down 297 meters and can only be reached via a rugged forest trail.

Trek Tip: This trek is for experienced hikers. Always go with a guide and inform local authorities before attempting this remote route.

5. Dudhsagar Falls – Goa (Offbeat Route)

While Dudhsagar is well-known, the offbeat trekking route from Castle Rock railway station offers an unmatched experience. Trek through dense forests, cross railway tracks, and watch the powerful cascade up-close.

Trek Tip: This route is best undertaken post-monsoon (Oct–Jan) when the water flow is ideal and trails are accessible.

6. Khandadhar Falls – Sundargarh, Odisha

Khandadhar is a spectacular and relatively unfrequented waterfall. The name comes from the way water slices down the rock face like a sword. Surrounded by dense forest, the falls are sacred to local tribes and offer an untouched wilderness experience.

Trek Tip: Hire local guides who know the forest well. The trek is moderately challenging but deeply rewarding.

7. Irupu Falls – Coorg, Karnataka

Irupu Falls, nestled in the Brahmagiri Range, is a serene destination less visited than other Coorg attractions. The route leading up to the falls is scenic and enveloped by rich flora and fauna.

Trek Tip: The falls are accessible year-round, but they’re especially striking during the monsoon. Don’t forget your rain gear!

8. Vasudhara Falls – Mana Village, Uttarakhand

Located near the last Indian village, Mana, Vasudhara Falls is a trekker’s delight. A short yet high-altitude trek from Mana leads to this ethereal waterfall believed to be blessed by the Pandavas.

Trek Tip: Acclimatize well before the trek and start early. The altitude can be challenging for beginners.
