Umbrella Falls |
 |
| A seasonal waterfall, the Umbrella Falls are in full buoyancy only during the months of the monsoon season. Located subtly near the Wilson Dam, the Umbrella Falls is fast becoming a tourist hotspot in the state of Maharashtra. The Umbrella Falls is a pictorial spot below the Wilson Dam wall at Bhandardara in the Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra. In full burst only seasonally, the Umbrella Falls are best visited during the monsoon season. The water from the Umbrella Falls also serves an important economic purpose- it is widely used for the hydroelectric power generation and is one of the primary sources for the same from within in and around that region. The only drawback about the Umbrella Falls is that it’s only worth visiting when the rain is pouring down and water levels in the Arthur Lake and Pravara River are on the rise. Apart from that, the Umbrella Falls is a spectacular tourist destination and while there are plenty of beautiful waterfalls scattered all over the country, it doesn’t take away anything from the ethereal splendour of the gushing Umbrella Falls. If you’re looking to explore a bit around the Umbrella Falls, make your way to the 45 m high Randha Falls, the Arthur Lake or the Wilson Dam, all of which are extremely close by, essentially in the same vicinity. A holiday including a visit to this fall is one that no family will ever regret! Tag this as important on your travel list and look forward to an utterly breathtaking destination! |
