Chaparai Water Cascade is situated on the Paderu-Araku road, about 15 km from Araku Valley. Though the place is not a waterfall in its strict sense, the slanting surfaces of the hillocks make water glide over them and flow as a continuous stream over the massive rock formations.
The lush greenery, thick forest cover, and hills in the background add beauty to the place. The ankle-deep gushing water entices families to get in and indulge in splashing waters over each other or enjoy swimming. However, visitors should take care of the depth of the water and the slippery nature of the rocks. Tourists can enjoy the delicious “Bamboo Chicken” prepared by the locals and also participate in their traditional dance.
Location: on Paderu- Araku Road, Visakhapatnam.

Best Time to Visit: Though visitors can visit the place round the year, the most preferred time to visit Chaparai Water Cascade is immediately after the rainy season. The water flow will be more after the monsoons and people can enjoy swimming and sliding. The cascading waters will be less during summers. People visit it during winters too.
