8 Waterfalls in Jaipur to visit this year

One big advantage of visiting Jaipur at this time is that the air is very clear and there is freshness all around due to the rains, and you will see greenery everywhere. Forts like Amber fort, Jaigarh Fort, etc will have an amazing background of green hills & they look so different & beautiful during monsoon. The bronze color of these forts and the greenery in the background can make the best photographic landscapes.

So just check out my list of 8 specular waterfalls in Jaipur that you can visit alone or by booking a cab from us in Jaipur.

1. Damoh Waterfall

Damoh Waterfall is a 4-5 hour drive from Jaipur, near Mehandipur Balaji temple, and this is a 300 feet tall waterfall near Jaipur, which is quite a popular place to visit in the moon season.

When I reached this Damoh Waterfall, I simply was stunned to look at its beauty, as the region is full of lush forests & greenery. Water falls down from a height of 300 feet, like a single cascade of water, and the wavy rock patterns through which the water falls down are very scenic. It is like a semi-circular hole into which the water falls down.

I saw tourists down at the bottom of the waterfall bathing in the pool. There are many rocks here so it can become slippery, so I would advise you to be careful when climbing the rocks.

I took my Innova and surprisingly the road leading up to the waterfall is good for SUVs or small cars. The entire place is perfectly suited for nature lovers.

The waterfall is very close to the Chambal river which flows at the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border. Damoh Waterfall is a natural waterfall and is the perfect place if you want to do hiking or trekking in Rajasthan.

How to reach Damoh Waterfall

Garwaji Waterfall is also called a Hidden Waterfall, as not many people know about this but the sight of Garwaji Waterfall is enough to excite you.

The falling waters that fall off the rocky cliffs into the pool below is a very scenic sight and the pool below the waterfall is perfect for bathing too.

If you go there some other time then you might not see that much water and the entire place is full of rocks and big boulders. You can actually climb these large rocks and reach the top of the waterfall if you are an expert climber.

NOTE: Kids will find it very difficult to tread on rocks and it is very slippery here.

It is on the route to the famous Nahargarh Fort, which in itself is one of the best-hiking destinations in Jaipur. You can plan a hiking trip to Nahargarh Fort and also stop by to visit the waterfall on the way.

The word ‘kund’ means a baori or a well, but actually, here there are very steep cliffs, that are almost vertical. The place can be full of hikers and during monsoons, it can be a pretty dangerous place. There is a great chance of you slipping on the rocks which are hidden in the densely forested trails. There is an old shiva temple near the kund.

The trail to this waterfall actually begins from Charan Mandir, which is a great place to view sunrise and sunset. You can also view the Jal Mahal from this vantage point.
