Step's Waterfall, Pamzal
Step's Waterfall in Pamzal is a breathtaking natural wonder located on the outskirts of Churachandpur. The waterfall is unique because it descends over a series of natural stone terraces that resemble a giant staircase carved by nature over centuries. It is surrounded by thick tropical foliage and provides a serene escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The water is crystal clear and remains cool even during the peak summer months. This spot is popular among locals for weekend picnics and serves as a vital ecological site for the region's diverse flora and fauna.
