Jamzir Waterfall — Attraction in Gujarat

Best waterfall of Saurashtra region

It's the only waterfall in Saurashtra region of Gujarat which is evergreen throughout the year. It's on shingoda river in Gir forest region. It's at very height but it's very dangerous and almost impossible to swim in the fall area, however you can have nice swimming in the upward river. It's nearby to Sasan of gir and gir century area. There is jamdagni ashram nearby the waterfall where we can prepare food on our own. Overall , a must see place while on visit to gir jungle.

Small but blissful, Jamzeer waterfall

Name of the waterfall sounded strange and we had never heard of it before, yet we decided to visit it on our way back from Sasan Gir.

One of the routes to the Jamzeer waterfall travels through Talala. We could see many orchards with mango trees blooming with flowers even around mid December. No wonder that Talala is a major supplier of Kesar mangoes.

We also passed by the Sidi village Jambur. Iconic 'Sidi Saiyad ni Jali' of Ahmedabad flashed on our mind. There are many theories for Sidis being in Gujarat. However, the most convincing one is that their ancestors were brought to Gujarat by kings or merchants as slaves/labourers. Sidis speak fluent Gujarati. Some of them work as drivers/guides for Gir forest safari but most them are still working as labourers.

Jamzeer waterfall is located near Jamwala village where we reached within 1 hour 20 minutes from Sasan. Google maps had been very helpful to us through out our journey but destinations of some Indian places are such that even google maps get confused. In our case both, out driver and google maps, got confused about the correct path.

We repented our decision to visit the waterfall and wasting our time in search of it. Guided by some villagers, we finally reached to a place where there was neither a road ahead nor any sign of waterfall in vicinity. We could see a lone tent shop selling juices. To our surprise, shopkeeper confirmed that we had reached at correct place and volunteered to guide us towards the waterfall.

After walking a short distance through rocky and uneven terrain, we reached to our destination. The first sight of the fall made us to forget all our pains. Jamzeer waterfall is small but beautiful. White, serene flowing water appeared like pearls falling from strings. Water in the pool below is dark. One can imagine spring as Radha, running and merging into Shyam.

Beauty of the place is beyond doubt but it is located interior and remains isolated most times. Cautious approach is required while visiting it and is not advisable for patients with knee or similar problems. Depth of pool is also not known and presence of leopard or hyenas may not be ruled out in surrounding caves. Possibility of unpleasant incident may be avoided by not venturing at odd hours and going too near the fall.

After watching waterfall from a distance, we went nearer to the place where streams are merging into a spring and spent some time listening to the sound of...

This was a very beautiful place unfortunately I visited this place in summer and that was at noon around 2 o'clock. Unfortunately not the right time to visit but I can tell you it would be a very beautiful place to be in winter as during the rainy season this part of the forest has been closed and no one can visit during this time. It is an easily approachable place with the help of GPS navigation and the end result of the visit was really satisfactory. There are two ways to enter this place one which has an entry gate will take you to the waterfall space and the another one which does not passes through any gate will take you to the bank of the river from where the water goes and falls into a small lake. My advice would be to go through gate and get into the waterfall space which will give you a better Outlook and you will enjoy that particular view of this waterfall. It is a good picnic spot for small groups but you definitely need to carry all your water and food and everything you require as there is no arrangement of any food. During my visit I fortunately found a person who was selling water bottles as well as lemon juice and lemon soda and that definitely helped us in the heated summer at 40 degrees. But will still suggest to carry your required...

Visiting Jamzir Waterfall was an unforgettable experience, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Tucked away in a serene part of nature, the waterfall is a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth the effort to reach. The journey to the waterfall is scenic, with lush greenery, winding trails, and glimpses of local wildlife, making the hike itself a part of the adventure.

Once you arrive, the sight of the cascading water is breathtaking. The waterfall, though not massive, has a graceful flow, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding area is perfect for photography, with the water flowing over rocks, framed by thick trees and moss-covered stones. It’s a great spot to spend time in nature, whether you're enjoying a quiet moment by the water or just taking in the fresh, cool air.

What makes Jamzir Waterfall stand out is its peaceful, less crowded nature compared to other tourist spots, allowing for a more intimate connection with the environment. There are also plenty of places to sit and enjoy the view, making it a great spot for a picnic or just unwinding.
