Its height is nearly 20 metres (66 ft). Near the waterfall there is a canyon that is approximately 200 metres (660 ft) long with rocks up to 20 metres (66 ft) high. The water falls down the flysch formations.

Overview

The waterfall also boasts a small lake, where the water remains cool even in hot season. Fir and beech forests line the waterfall creating a very beautiful and tranquil environment. The waterfall turns a little wild following heavy rainfall or the monsoon with frequent flash floods. In winter months frozen icicles look like chimeras with an enchanting effect on the visitors who frequent the place.[3]
