Thoseghar Waterfalls were the best part of our trip to Satara and Kaas. The roaring falls vie for the attention of both your eyes and ears as you stand on the viewing platform.
On our right were the twin falls falling into a U shaped gorge and on our left a single waterfall was falling in tiers reaching the bottom of valley and joining the river formed by the earlier falls.
As we took our eyes off these thick waterfalls and looked at the surface of the hill in front of us, we could see many smaller falls coming down, a bit silently clinging to the surface of the hill. There are pathways built to take the visitors from this viewing platform to the upper part of the twin falls where you can see their source.
You even cross a waterfall through a small metal bridge. The most outstanding feature for me was the roaring sound of falling water – it overshadowed every other sound.
There were birds but we could only see them not hear them. There were quite a few tourists but they all kept quite listening to the sound of water. But for the time of the day that we visited i.e. roughly noontime, place has the potential to send you in a meditative trance.
Came back and Internet told me that Thoseghar falls are the third highest falls of India after Nohkalikai Falls of Meghalaya and Jog falls of Karnataka and I realized I have had the good fortune to visiting all of them.
