The drive on the NH is a pleasant experience... Forests.... Good road... Got surprised after reaching Kuntala water falls Parking area might not be sufficient during heavy tourist season At the entrance there are dhaba type food outlets which cook fresh chicken and other items for lunch and snacks... They have swings made out of cots .... Monkeys are everywhere... They will snatch packets looking for food... Make sure you don't carry food in carry bags... Hide food packets in bigger hand bags... Also it would be easier to carry upto the water fall... Also don't use disposable plastic and throw in the mountains... At first we saw the mountain valley with a small stream which has almost dried up post monsoon... I was disappointed that we have driven so long for this stream After going ahead we saw the water fall valley.. looking awesome.. but not sure someone can actually climb down the mountain foot to reach out to the water fall We saw people walking down the concrete steps downwards... As expected due to steep mountain downward the steps are quite tricky and quite difficult for elderly and people with breathing and knees problems By the time you reach the mountain foot you are actually bit exhausted But the sight of the water fall valley makes you forget the tiredness But the way from the steps to the water fall it's rocky and no walk way has been constructed... Quite difficult for elderly... Physically challenged and knees problems Shockingly there is a old man who is advising tourists to be carefully but there is no security guards nearby the water fall in case of injuries or casualties On December 26 the water fall was thin but good enough for enjoying water fall There are patches of water pool all around But the rocks are very very slippery and can be dangerous fall Most young guys are climbing up the hill top above the water fall and enjoying the scenic view and water fall... Very good location for photography Almost everyone enjoyed sitting under the water fall and taking photographs... NOTE be careful with your valuables.. wallet... Mobile... One of your team member has to keep guards while others are enjoying the water fall At the far end there is another very sharp water fall with steep fall... Very dangerous for trekking... Very good location for photography But during monsoon the water falls will be very heavy and the water lake will be full Due to the dangerous water fall and lake I think tourist will not be allowed to go down from the mountain top / Entrance to the mountain Most important is to plan your food... Empty stomach will make you weak and you will need lots of energy.. but full stomach will make your mountain decent difficult and at the water fall Take clothing .. towel... clothes for changing after swimming .. for water fall.. water bottle... Light snacks... AT WATER FALL there is no public utilities... NO CHANGING ROOM... No toilets... It's a very memorable experience... the forest adds to the experience... But if possible check out during monsoon if the water fall is prohibited for tourists Also during summer there might be no water fall... I am NOT sure... or it could be very thin water fall

Unbelievable water falls in Telangana or I would say in central India.. Beautiful nature.. good for hiking as we need to climb down hundreds of steps to reach the bottom of the fall. It can be quite exhausting but will be worth it. In the peak summer, there will be little water and it seems people walk across the fall , which can still be dangerous and slippery. In the rainy season and few months till summer, one can never imagine venturing into the falls. The forest is nice and green but the steps can be difficult. When we went to the falls, there was a sudden rain and we had to take shelter in tea stalls. There are warning pictures for people not to venture into the water falls. Hundreds of people have been washed away or went missing .. The water below the falls can be quite deep which is not generally visible. You can see several videos and pictures which I have submitted. You can combine your trip to Kumtala water falls along with Basara saraswathi temple and also Nirmal (toys). There are few smaller water falls near by as well. Children and old people will find it tough to climb down the stairs and climb it back. Even regular people who are not fit will have trouble. You can enjoy water falls both from top as well as from the bottom. Be prepared. Plan your trip properly and enjoy. If you like the photos, videos and the review, please like it.

This is one of the highest waterfall in the state of Telangana with height of 147 feet and is on Kaddam river. Waterfall open at 9 am and closed by 5 pm. This is managed by Telangana forest department. To reach to the waterfall you have to climb down to nearly 400 steps. Be aware of monkeys. Don’t carry food in open. There is an entry ticket of ₹30 for an adults and parking charge ₹100. Best season to visit is between August - December. There are many food stall at the entrance of waterfall, you can order desi chicken and even Kadaknath and go to waterfall and while returning you can enjoy mouthwatering meals amidst forest. This is very good weekend gateway for people who love to spend time in nature and trekking. I reached to the waterfall and took bath in the falling water. One suggestion, keep extra pair of clothes because once you reach to the waterfall you can’t resist yourself from bathing. Some people’s were saying this is Niagara of Telangana during rainy season, so friends you can tell your view in comment section.

Spectacular place to spend a weekend. Kuntala waterfall is approximately 270 kms from Hyderabad city and it takes approximately 5 and half hours to reach this place via NH 44. The road condition is very good through out the journey. You may find 5-6 toll gates in the road. Forest department is guarding this place. The entry fee is 30 rupees per person. For kids there is no entry fee. There is ample car parking space near the entrance and they charge 50 rupees per car. There are small eateries which sell different snacks,cold drinks, water bottles etc at the entrance. Pay and use toilet facility is also available at entrance. There are approximately 400 steps to go down and see the waterfall. The steps are steep and climbing back can be very exhausting. Going near the water fall is permitted. However, getting into the water or swimming is prohibited. The view of the water fall is simply breathtaking. You can sit on the rocks and admire the beauty of the place for hours. Best season to visit this place is to during the monsoon or just after that. Avoid going to this place on long weekends as this place gets extremely crowded. Over all an amazing place to visit with family and friends.

It's a wonderful place to visit with family and friends. In Telangana very few waterfalls are available and this is one of the best waterfalls available in Telangana. It is located in Adilabad district people from other places can easily travel to this place by NH and the road was too good you can drive to the place very smoothly. Once you reach there you can find few hotels where you can order your food and you can have the food after enjoying at waterfall. The cost of the food is reasonable. No free parking and only paid parking is available. You need to go down by steps to reach the waterfall and there are around 400 steps are there so you need to be enough fit. At waterfall you might see more slippery places so you need to be cautious while stepping on wet area's. In the middle of the waterfall I didn't see slippery areas. Kids should be under supervision of the elders. You can spend entire day over there. I am not sure but there's a guest house is to stay there. If you have enough time you can visit one more waterfall near by called Pochera but I didn't get enough time to go there. From Hyderabad it will take 4 hours to reach the place.

One of the top most waterfalls in Telangana, best weekend getaway from Hyderabad, must visit place during monsoons or immediately after the rains. It's a big open area covered with rocky plains, waterfalls comes through a cascading set of steps thereby creating several small places where we can have lots of fun. There are several small streams as well spread across the entire area, we can find groups enjoying based on their comfort levels. We can walk across the whole place, shift from one stream to another and spend a lot of time here. There is ample parking space at the entrance, from where we should climb down 410 steps to reach the waterfall. Another highlight is the lunch / dinner provided by hotels. We should place our order by paying advance before heading down to waterfall, they will prepare and keep it ready by the time we return. They have a standard menu though, we tried natu kodi curry with white rice, it was delicious.
