Champawati Waterfall / Kunda

Nagaon, Assam, India
Champawati Waterfall, locally known as Chapanala Falls, is a hidden paradise tucked away in the Karbi Anglong foothills. The waterfall is named after a legendary local princess and is famous for its crystal-clear water that gushes through several rocky tiers. Surrounded by lush tea gardens and dens e forests, it serves as one of the most popular picnic spots in Nagaon. The area is rich in biodiversity, and visitors can often spot colorful butterflies and rare birds. The trek to the main "Kunda" (pool) involves walking through scenic trails. Unlike commercial waterfalls, Champawati retains its rugged, natural charm, making it a favorite for adventure seekers and nature photographers.
