Waterfalls Near Vadodara

By Kajal Shah Gujarat

Hello all,

As the dust is becoming clay, the beautiful melody of raindrops is soothing our minds, the earth is spreading its fragrance and awakening the child among you…The rain is a cleanser. Cleaning all dust and debris from the earth, gently mixing it within her… Rain is a healer… Healing our wounds, just by the sight and sound of it. Rain is a comforter… just like a warm blanket on a winter morning, but here it is, comforting your soul, not just your body.

It can be destructive, it can be notorious… but the gentle rain, caressing our body, pampering our mind, and comforting our soul, is what we have been getting in our city this year. Looking outside the window, the droplets, hugging the trees and leaves, whispering to them, and then falling gently, meet Mother Earth. I wonder what those pearl-like raindrops are telling these trees…or are they in a hurry to meet to ground. The leaves are smiling, grinning from ear to ear. They feel fresh, rejuvenated. And why not? The rain has cleansed them, metamorphosed them from dusty brown green to bright shining green…

The strings of my heart start vibrating just visualizing this simple sight, and my mind and soul drift to the waterfalls! Amazing waterfall! Stunning waterfalls! Mesmerising waterfall! Yes, we have many, many waterfalls around Vadodara. Here is the list of the waterfalls.

     

Less than 1 hour from Vadodara:

Narmada subcanal waterfall:

The waterfall is actually a small cascade at the sub-canal of the main canal. It is near the little village with the name of Navi Vasahat on Google Maps.
For full details of this, please click here.

1-2 hours from Vadodara:

Gupteshwar Mahadev waterfall:

This is one of the most famous waterfalls near Pawagadh. But during the monsoon, the authorities close the trail to this waterfall. So please check before going. The trail to the waterfall is on the left side of the main trail from the road.

Khuniya Mahadev waterfall:

Instead of left, if you take the right trail from the main trail, you will reach this waterfall. Again, one of the main waterfalls in the Champaner-Pawagadh region.

Hathnimata Waterfall:

Again, this waterfall can get crowded, especially on weekends. We visited a long time back.

Ghodi Faliya waterfall:

This is one of the best-hidden waterfalls near Pawagadh. It is on the back side of Pawagadh and relatively less explored than the famous Khuniya Mahadev and Gupteshwar Mahadev..

Kesharva waterfall:

It is the waterfall near Rajpipla where you can bathe, you can swim, and you can take a dip! And the best part is you hardly have to walk around 1 km.

Nazarmata waterfall

Nazarmata Waterfall is perfect in every way.  The main thing is, it is so near Vadodara, in the vicinity of the Jambughoda wildlife sanctuary.

2-3 hours from Vadodara:

It is a waterfall where you don’t have to hike and is located in Ghanikhut village, near Netrang. It is also known as Rampam Waterfall or Reva Waterfall.

Dharsimel is a known waterfall near Vadodara,  located in Dharsimel village. The road to the villages is well-maintained and you can easily take a bike or a car there. The location is perfect on Google Maps. You can read more about it here. 

Survani waterfall

The trek is easy with one small steep hill to climb in between. It is very unique in a way of trees all around us, a small but steep hill, and herds of cows accompanying you.  Read about it here

Zarwani waterfall

Though we have visited many waterfalls near Vadoadra, we haven’t been to this, which is one of the most famous and most visited waterfalls in Rajpipla.

Juna Ghanta waterfall

Another big waterfall near Rajpipla. But during peak monsoon, they don’t allow you to go near the waterfall.  You can read more here.

Chhatwada waterfall

These are small sussurations just behind Juna Ghanta waterfall. They are just beside the main road, so you don’t have to walk at all.  Read here for more details.

3-4 hours from Vadodara:

Naldha waterfall: 

The trek to the Naldha waterfall is mesmerizing, and it is from the jungle with a very well-marked trai with amazing waterfall. try to reach early as ut gets crowded after 11. 

.

Ninai waterfall:

Again, one of the majestic waterfalls in the Rajpipla-Netrang region with easy steps and amazing surroundings. Read about it here.

 

So, though our visits and trips to waterfalls might be less this year but we still revive each of these in our memories as they have engraved some beautiful moments in our soul, which will last forever.

Do visit and let us know which one is your favourite.
