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.
