Lingmala Waterfall
लिंगमळा धबधबा
A waterfall plunging about 180 metres down a cliff into the Venna valley, most dramatic just after the monsoon, with a forest trail for close views.
Lingmala Waterfall lies beside the road from Mahabaleshwar to Panchgani. The Venna River pours down a cliff about 180 metres high, surrounded by dense forest. From the entrance, a forest trail descends for about 15 to 20 minutes to a viewing platform, and further down you can reach the pool at the foot of the falls. The trail is slippery during the monsoon (July to September) and is sometimes closed for safety reasons, so the ideal time is 9 to 11 months of the year, just after the monsoon ends. In the late dry season the flow is very weak. A small entrance fee applies.
