Turga Falls & Dam
তুর্গা ফলস
A forest waterfall and new reservoir in the southwest of the Ayodhya Hills, reached by a forest path. It sees fewer visitors than Bamni Falls.
Turga Falls cascade in tiers from the rock face into a deep pool, surrounded by sal trees. Downstream lies the newly built Turga Dam, whose broad lake makes a good spot to watch the sunset from the dam wall. Because another pumped-storage project is under way nearby, parts of the area may be fenced off, so ask at your accommodation about access before setting out. The trail includes wading and rocky sections, so be careful after rain.
