Thoseghar Falls – Satara’s Monsoon Wonder
The
best part of our trip to Satara and Kaas was the Thoseghar Falls. The
roaring Thoseghar Waterfalls vie for the attention of both your eyes and
ears as you stand on the viewing platform looking at the milky streams
of water plunging down.
On our right were the twin waterfalls, falling into a U-shaped gorge. On our left, a single waterfall was plunging down in tiers reaching the bottom of the valley. And joining the river formed by the earlier waterfalls collectively called Thoseghar 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 waterfalls coming down. 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.
