What to do there?
Sahastradhara has different inspirations for different people. Some people rejoice with their family losing years and reliving the best time of their life. Abu Bakr said, “I visited the place with my family.”
For adventure seekers, the gigantic mountain and its surrounding dense forest invites them to explore and trek on its twisty ways. In the dense forest, you can find interesting biodiversity.

Bathing in fresh, clean water
When blessed with a big family, every place and picnic is fun. Synonymous with large joint families with flavours of every age group, Sahastradhara is a combination waterfall, pond, mountains and rich biodiversity.
While many people prefer sitting quietly and enjoying the view of the waterfall, most people dive in the pool at the bottom of the fall.
