Umradah Waterfall
Details: Umradah Waterfall is a hidden natural treasure located in the heart of the forest-rich Kondagaon district. This perennial waterfall is formed by a natural spring that cascades down rocky terrains, creating a beautiful pool at the bottom that is safe for wading. The area is surrounded by den se forests and is also significant for its archaeological value, as rock paintings have been discovered in the nearby hills. These paintings provide a glimpse into the prehistoric life of the people who once inhabited this region. The waterfall is relatively untouched by commercial tourism, offering a raw and authentic experience of the Bastar wilderness. The sound of the falling water combined with the chirping of forest birds makes it a perfect escape for those looking to rejuvenate their senses. Local villagers often visit the site for small gatherings, but on weekdays, it remains a quiet and secluded spot. The trek to the waterfall involves a short walk through the woods, which adds an element of adventure to the trip. It is an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone interested in the combination of natural beauty and ancient history.
