About Lingmala Waterfall

Situated between Mahabaleshwar and Pune, Lingmala Waterfall is one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in the country. Known for its tranquil atmosphere and gorgeous panorama, the waterfall originates approximately 600 feet above a cliff and is engulfed by lush greenery. Set next to the Lingmala Forest Bungalow, the waterfall is a brilliant spot for a daybreak from all the hustle and bustle of your daily city life. 

Interestingly, Lingmala Waterfall also offers you a picturesque view of Dhobi Waterfall as well as Chinaman’s Waterfall, which makes it a fabulous spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The waterfalls are divided into two levels – the lower deck and the upper deck.

The lower deck has the mini waterfall which is perfect for swimming and splashing around since it is much safer. The upper deck, however, is dangerous for any such activities and is accessible after a 30-minutes trek from the mini waterfall. Though getting to the actual waterfall is not possible because of the difficult path, it makes for an adventurous trek and a splendid experience.

Travelers' Tip before Visiting Lingmala Waterfall


Though Lingmala Waterfall is a fairly safe place to be, following are some of the things you should keep in mind while visiting the falls:

1. Though anybody can visit the waterfalls, keep in mind that the trek to the waterfalls, especially to the lower deck, can be extremely strenuous. Hence, it is best for elderlies, toddlers, and people with health conditions to avoid the trek. 

2. Treat nature as your own home and do not litter. Carry your waste back with you to dispose it off in a proper bin. 

3. Wear proper clothing and footwear. The walk back from the waterfalls is known to be very incline and proper shoes will be necessary to maintain your grip and avoid injuries.
