Rohtash Waterfall

Sasaram, Bihar, India
Rohtash Waterfall, often referred to as Dhuan Kund (Smoky Pool), is a twin waterfall located very close to Sasaram. The name "Dhuan" comes from the thick mist or smoke-like vapor that rises when the water crashes onto the rocks from a great height. It is situated on the Kav River. The energy genera ted by the falling water is so high that there have been proposals for hydroelectric projects here. It is a favorite weekend getaway for the people of Sasaram. The surrounding rocks are flat and spacious, making it an ideal location for large group picnics. During the Monsoon, the waterfall expands, covering the entire cliff face. The sound of the water is therapeutic and can be heard from the base of the hill. It represents the raw, unbridled power of nature in the Vindhyan range. The area is also significant for its proximity to other historical sites, allowing for a combined trip of nature and history.
