Easy Trek of around 2.5km. At 2-3 points, you'll have to cross small water streams by stepping over rocks, which I think could be a problem is monsoons. Guides are also available at starting point if required. (We did it by ourselves)

2-3 eateries are also available at starting point, no shop enroute Trek.

Takes around 1 hour to reach Waterfall and the Temple.

Waterfall is not too much deep, I was even able to sit on the waterfall bottom. Depth may vary from season to season.

But the cold water falling, relieves all the tiredness of Trek.

Must visit place. Way to reach starting point is also very picturesque.

Taxis are also easily available from Kausani to visit the temple...
