Must-See Waterfalls to Visit in Telangana This Monsoon

3. Kuntala Waterfalls: Highest in Telangana

The tallest waterfalls in Telangana, standing at 147 feet, are perched inside the Adilabad district. Legends say that the waterfall was named after Shakuntala, the consort of King Dushyanta, who is said to have bathed here. Full of grandeur with a load of rainwater gushing into steep drops, old slippery pathways require concern while moving to the base.

Mallela Theertham is one of the most scenic waterfalls hidden in the Nallamala forest near Srisailam, which is thought to bear spiritual significance.

It is also during the heavy rains that the falls become full, and the misty forest paths are magically enchanting.

5. Pochera Waterfalls:  A Hidden Gem

Another marvel in the Adilabad domain, Pochera is peculiar in that it ranks among the select few waterfalls in Telangana, which tumble from a height into a deeper natural gorge. The turquoise water is the stuff of postcards beyond the rocky outcrops and green surroundings—a photographer's and picnicker's paradise.
