Katiki Waterfalls
A roughly 50-meter waterfall hidden in the forest near the Borra Caves, reached by jeep and then a hike. It is good for splashing around in the water.
Katiki Falls are formed by a tributary of the Gostani River, with a drop of about 50 meters and dense forest all around. From near the Borra Caves, you transfer to a local jeep for about 4 kilometers on a dirt road, then hike about 1 to 2 kilometers to the foot of the falls. You can play in the pools, and small stalls nearby sell chicken cooked in bamboo tubes. Flow is greatest during the monsoon and just after rain, but the road turns muddy. In the dry season the flow is smaller. The round trip takes about 2 to 3 hours. Plan it for the same day as the Borra Caves, and negotiate the jeep fare on site.
