There is nothing more relaxing and invigorating than watching a
waterfall. And it's even more glorious in the rains. If you're planning a
holiday in this season, make sure the destination is somewhere near
these scenic sights. There is something really exciting about a
waterfall cascading down from a mountain. And more so during the monsoon
when the water gushes down with full force and vigour. If you haven't
decided on a destination yet, here are some of the places in our country
which are considered to be the 'Niagara Falls' of India.
Athirappilly Falls, Kerala
Often called the 'Niagara' of India, this waterfall is situated in Thrissur district of Kerala. One needs to hold their breath — the panoramic fall of the water is 330 foot wide. However, the falls are relatively low with water falling from a height of only 80 feet, but what makes this waterfall all the more beautiful at this time of the year is when the clouds come floating down.

Dudhsagar Falls, Goa

Chitrakoot Falls, Chattisgarh
Known as the most majestic waterfall in the country, this waterfall is 520 foot wide and is spread across a cliff which is shaped like a horseshoe. However, the water here is muddy unlike the other waterfalls in the country as it is filled with silt from Indravati River in the rains.

Jog Falls, Karnataka
Hidden deep within the forestland of Sagara in Karnataka, about 340 km away from Bangalore, the Jog Falls is created by the Sharavathi River which has four points of fall and when merged looks like one grand waterfall. These four points are known as the Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket. The water falls from a height of 829 feet and looks absolutely stunning.

Langshiang Falls, Meghalaya
A land where incessant rainfalls make it a traveller's favourite destination, the Langshiang Falls in Meghalaya is a treat to the eye. This is known to be the third largest waterfall in India and is located on an island called Nangkhunaum. However, visiting this waterfall is no mean feat as one has to take a boat to reach it.
