The monsoons bring an alluring charm to the Western Ghats in India. Lush green forests, gushing waterfalls and slippery trails – it’s an adventurer’s paradise. One such gem hidden in the valleys of Maharashtra is the Vajrai waterfall, India’s tallest plunge waterfall. At a towering height of 1083 feet, it awaits the daring with a thrilling trek and magnificent views. Vajrai waterfall lies nestled deep in the Western Ghats, 140kms away from Pune near the village of Bhambawali. To get there, we drove through the hill stations of Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani. The winding roads passing quaint villages and panoramic valley views set the tone for the adventurous day ahead.
Vajrai Falls is a three-tier waterfall cascading down from a height of around 853 feet (260 m). This is a perennial waterfall but is very spectacular during monsoons. Urmodi River is believed to start from the Vajrai Waterfalls. There are many small caves near Vajrai Falls which can be visited along with the falls.
