Tandra Waterfall
Tandra Waterfall Details: Located in the remote Wankidi mandal, the Tandra Waterfall is a relatively new discovery on the tourism map of Adilabad. It is a seasonal waterfall that comes alive with a roar during the rainy season. The water falls from a height of about 30 to 40 feet into a natural rock y pool. Unlike the more famous Kuntala, Tandra offers a more intimate and secluded experience. The path to the waterfall passes through tribal hamlets and agricultural fields, offering a glimpse into the rural life of Northern Telangana. It is surrounded by thick forest patches that provide ample shade and a habitat for local wildlife.
