About Kataldhara

Kataldhar Waterfall, located in Ulhas Valley near Lonavala, it’s offers an exhilarating trekking experience. The trek to Kataldhar Waterfall starts from Fanasrai Village and leads through dense forests and slippery routes, making it essential to have a guide or an expert due to the challenging terrain and the risk of losing your way. This seasonal waterfall, which only flows during the monsoon, feeds the Ulhas River along with the nearby Kune Waterfall, impacting water levels in Thane and Vasai creek.

The breathtaking waterfall is best viewed after consistent rainfall, as it can quickly dry up if the rains cease for a few weeks. Adventurous trekkers can explore the caves beneath the waterfall, visible only when the water flow is moderate, and even partake in Kataldhar Waterfall rappelling during this time. Visible from Shirvardhan Fort, the trek to Kataldhar Waterfall requires careful navigation, especially while descending and climbing. Given its susceptibility to flash floods, trekkers must remain vigilant and avoid venturing too deep. For an unforgettable experience in the monsoon season, Kataldhar Waterfall is a must-visit, combining natural beauty with the thrill of adventure.
