After completing our visit to the Statue of Equality and with a suggestion from an online source about nearby places to explore, we came across the idea of visiting Nanajipura Waterfalls. It was located approximately 7 to 8.5 kilometers away from the Statue of Equality.
At first, I thought it might be worth a visit, but I soon realized that getting there required navigating some off-road terrain. The journey was a bit bumpy, but we managed to reach the place. I wouldn't describe it as a spectacular destination, but it had its charm and proved to be a good spot for photography, allowing us to capture some nice shots.
The location is somewhat hidden and not well-marked, so it's the kind of place where you might stumble upon it rather than intentionally seek it out. It's a casual spot, suitable for occasional visits depending on the preferences of the people visiting.
There is a small parking area available, and the scene resembles a stream overflowing into a river, creating a small lake-like area. It's nestled amidst a slightly hilly landscape, offering the opportunity to explore both the upper and...
Read moreThose looking for a quick weekend getaway to the outskirts of Hyderabad, Nanajipur Waterfalls is one among the choices. The place is less than half an hour drive from Shamshabad. The visitors can also stop at the famous Ammapalli Sita Ramachandraswamy Devasthanam on the way. The visitors to the waterfalls are greeted by serene lush green surroundings. The road leading to the falls from the main road after the Vardhaman College of Engineering is narrow and the final untarred 2-3 kms are bit tough to negotiate. Weekends saw heavy rush and there is ample parking space for two and three wheelers near the falls. The falls will be in full spate only during monsoon and visitors only have the option to take a dip in the stagnant waters. No safety measures are in place and those stepping into the water has to exercise extreme caution as the water level is nearly 10ft after two steps. There are no shops near the spot; hence, for food, drinking water, towel, etc., one has to go to the main road. Else, plan your lunch at any resturant...
Read moreWhile this place might look quite nice when the well/catchment area is full, during other times it's like a big pond with a narrow road that has a fairly steep fall on one side a deep water body on the other.
The waterfall is not a continuous feature and visible only when there's excess water which then overflows, creating the waterfall.
You have to be super careful with kids since the path leading to the water is elevated and there are people coming and going from both sides and the path itself is not smooth and is quite bumpy.
The increase in footfalls there has led to garbage building up everywhere and frankly while I could click a few photos that I thought were ok, the place itself is disappointing.
The ride to the area is quite nice and you have to go through roads with lovely green paddy fields on...
