It is a small waterfall (we visited end of June when the rains haven't started) and quiet popular with the tourists. In fact, you must visit as early in the day as possible, or else you will be bumping into people if you visit during the season. The walkway is nice and picturesque, and has a lot of juice stalls. We had the juices of Buransh/rhododendron (tastes sweet and slightly fermented), squash (like orange squash) and of galgal/mountain-lime/pahari-nimbu. Definitely try these juices, but don't advise the shop-keeper on how to prepare them, or else you will mess them up.
