IntroductionNestled within the enchanting Ulhas Valley near Lonavala, the Kataldhar Waterfall trek is a journey to a hidden gem. Our adventure commences at Fanasrai Village, the gateway to an unforgettable experience. Kataldhar Waterfall, shrouded in nature's mystique, reveals its grandeur exclusively during the monsoon season. It's a symphony of water and stone, orchestrated by the whims of the rain, a testament to the ever-changing tapestry of nature. As we trek through dense forests and navigate slippery pathways, vigilance is key while descending and climbing around the waterfall. Kataldhar and Kune Waterfalls, our companions on this journey, collaborate to nourish the mighty Ulhas River, which meanders gracefully through Thane and Vasai Creek. With Shirvardhan Fort as our silent witness, offering a panoramic view of Kataldhar, we uncover the secrets concealed beneath the waterfall's veil - mysterious caves that come to life when the waterfall flows at a moderate pace. Join Camp India on this exhilarating adventure and immerse yourself in nature's dynamic beauty.
