How To Reach Umbrella Falls

Bhandardara, Maharashtra, India
Umbrella Falls is a truly unique, seasonal waterfall formed by the overflow of water from the gates of the Wilson Dam (Bhandardara Dam). It earns its picturesque name because the water, when forcefully released, hits the semi-circular, naturally placed rocks at the base of the dam structure and spla ys out in a white sheet, resembling a massive, translucent umbrella or shield. This spectacular sight only occurs during the peak monsoon season (July to September) when the Arthur Lake reservoir is full and the dam gates are opened to release the excess water into the Pravara River. A small footbridge connecting the dam area to the main road offers the best and closest view of the cascade, where the spray and mist can be intensely felt. The falls are entirely dependent on the dam's operation and water level, making a visit a matter of perfect seasonal timing. This mesmerizing, misty curtain of water is one of Bhandardara's most cherished and easily accessible attractions.
