Bamni Falls

Purulia, West Bengal, India
Sub Place Details: Bamni Falls is perhaps the most famous perennial waterfall in the Ajodhya Hills region. It is a multi-step cascade where the water plunges down several rocky tiers into a deep, green pool at the bottom. The descent to the falls involves a trek down a series of stone steps, which a dds an element of adventure to the visit. The surroundings are incredibly lush, with the spray from the falls keeping the nearby rocks covered in soft moss and ferns. The sound of the falling water is rhythmic and soothing, creating a natural sanctuary for those looking to escape the heat. The water originates from the Upper Dam area and finds its way through the cracks of the ancient granite rocks. The pool at the base is surrounded by large boulders, making it a popular spot for tourists to sit and dip their feet. The vegetation here is typical of the dry deciduous forest but remains green year-round due to the humidity from the waterfall. It is a place of high ecological value, supporting various local insect and bird species. Legend has it that the falls have been a source of water for the local tribes for centuries. The trek back up is moderately challenging but rewarding, with several viewing platforms built at different levels to see the falls from various angles. During the rainy season, the falls transform into a roaring giant, making it a spectacular sight from the watchtower located at the top.
