Of the many places one can visit during the summer, the Bekhal Waterfall is a decent choice for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, the main attraction of this place is the waterfall - if the name didn't make it obvious enough. Despite what comes to mind generally when someone thinks of a waterfall, the Bekhal Waterfall allows one to simply climb and take a picture in the middle of the waterfall. I'm sure that'll be a Instagram-worthy picture.

Other than the waterfall, at the bottom, there are dozens of stores selling all sorts of merchandise, ranging from outerwear and shoes to toys and decorations (good as souvenirs).

One other reason, which is highly recommended for travellers is that there are a few hotels nearby that are quite worth staying in. Not only are they clean, but since the Bekhal Waterfall is where it is, as soon as one sleeps the night there, they can eat breakfast and then drive-off immediately... with a variety of other places of interest quite close-by. In fact, one of the most popular attractions one can visit is right on top of a mountain beside the Bekhal Waterfall - Shingilbana.

All in all, this is a nice place to visit. Recommended.

P.S:- One of the rides in Shingilbana goes right on top of Bekhal. It's quite the...

I visited Bekhal Waterfall Resort recently after not seeing it for over 10 years, and I was amazed at how much it has changed for the better. The place looks modern and well-organized now. There are plenty of restaurants surrounding the waterfall, offering good food and beautiful views. I also noticed several hotels nearby for those who want to stay longer. The outdoor gift shops add to the charm, selling local products, snacks, and souvenirs. The atmosphere is very lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for families and friends to relax and enjoy nature. Bekhal has truly become a wonderful place to visit.
