This is present within the confines of a dense jungle so most of the visitors prefer to have a guide along with them. If you are visiting the Jim Corbett National Park, you can ask the authorities or managing groups there to take you down to Corbett Falls. You are most likely to find some of the rarest birds or exotic flora and plants on your way to the falls. You are not allowed to enter the waters or linger there for long owing to the fact that you are literally in the middle of the forest! People travelling by car must park their vehicle at a distance and trek for a short time to reach the falls. This is a good place to go on short walks or plan a picnic for an hour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distance from Nainital:<\/strong> 39 km<br><strong>Timings:<\/strong> 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 &#8211; Rudhradhari Waterfalls<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"Accessing Rudhradhari waterfalls in Nainital is a little challenging but the place is definitely worth your efforts. \" class=\"wp-image-49894\" style=\"width:425px;height:279px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls-740x487.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Rudradhari-Waterfalls.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Rudhradhari Waterfalls<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Accessing Rudhradhari waterfalls in Nainital is a little challenging but the place is definitely worth your efforts. You will have to park your vehicles aside and go on a 2 km trek through dense pine forests. Then you will reach the waterfalls that are present amidst thick greenery. There is a Shiva and Vishnu temple and a few caves that you can explore in the region. It is believed that Lord Shiva often meditates in these caves and even Lord Vishnu has a spiritual connection with the caves. That is why this place is called Rudhradhari, which is a combination of the names of Lord Shiva and Vishnu &#8211; Rudhra and Hari. People who come here sit down and spend some quaint time with their company or meditate for a short time while focussing on the rhythmic hum of the cascading falls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distance from Nainital:<\/strong> 123 km<br><strong>Timings<\/strong>: Open 24 Hours; It is not advised to come here after 7 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 &#8211; Bhalu Gaad Waterfalls<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"Bhalu Gaad is one of the most unique waterfalls in Nainital. \" class=\"wp-image-49895\" style=\"width:425px;height:279px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls-740x487.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bhalu-Gaad-Waterfalls.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Bhalu Gaad Waterfalls<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bhalu Gaad is one of the most unique waterfalls in Nainital. You ask why? Depending upon the speed of the water, you can witness a horseshoe-style flow or plunge-style drop down from a height. The word \u2018Bhalu\u2019 means bear. The place gets its name because a large number of bear sightings are seen in this part of the forest near Nainital. You will have to walk for a short distance to see the falls and it is good to plan some serene time here. It feels like you have been cut off from the rest of the world and are happily basking in the glory of nature. However, strictly avoid being in this place past 5:00 PM and if you spot a bear, take photographs without flash.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distance from Nainital:<\/strong> 40km<br><strong>Timings<\/strong>: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 &#8211; Dhokane Waterfalls<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49896\" style=\"width:425px;height:279px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls-740x487.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Dhokane-Waterfalls.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Dhokane Waterfalls<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Not many know about the Dhokane waterfalls in Nainital. This is one of the most mesmerising places in the region. If you are coming by road and passing Almora, then you are sure to see this waterfall on National Highway 109. It comes down from a height and creates dense mist at the bottom where it meets the waterbody. Also, it has no crowd most of the time and afternoons you will find no one lingering there. No one will stop you from taking a dip but owing to the speed of the water, it is advised to not step in. If you have enough time on your hands, after exploring the waterfall, go for a walk in the neighbouring Dhokaney village. You can also buy some local honey and snacks from the Ninglat village.

This is a stream that cascades down at full force when the water overflows from the Sariyatal Lake. This fall was once unknown to the world but the authorities of the National Forest Department did a lot of hard work and made the spot more accessible. They cut down the wild twigs and planted more deodar and bamboo plants. There are several animal sculptures around the waterfall and ample space where you can sit and enjoy watching the water.

You will find a path lined with alluring trees, pines, exotic flowers and wild bushes. Once you reach the spot, you can enjoy the best panoramic view of the surrounding valley. You can feel that fresh air brush your face and relax while sitting in the lap of nature. If you are craving some silence and me time, then this is where you should be heading. The avian lovers should look out for the migratory birds and cute native variants that are frequent visitors to these falls. If you are planning to see Jim Corbett National Park and opting for a tourist package, look out for the ones that also include Freaky Waterfalls and the previously discussed Corbett Falls. Both of these require intense hiking so it would be better to go with a group and a guide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distance from Nainital:<\/strong> 22.7 km<br><strong>Timings: <\/strong>8:00 AM to 5:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 &#8211; Barati Rau Waterfalls<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"If you have time after visiting Corbett Falls, then we urge you to travel for 5 more kilometres to reach the Barati Rau Waterfalls. \" class=\"wp-image-49899\" style=\"width:425px;height:279px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall-740x487.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Barati-Rau-Waterfall.jpg 1049w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Barati Rau Waterfalls<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you have time after visiting Corbett Falls, then we urge you to travel for 5 more kilometres to reach the Barati Rau Waterfalls.

It will take you about 2 hours to reach the spot. After a 2 km casual trek, you will reach the mesmerising place where misty white water lands into a turquoise pool. A canopy of trees covers the water body and it is beautiful to see rays of sunrise escape from the gaps and shine like glittering gold on the surface of the water. Chunakhan is a community-based village where people have slightly different lifestyles. The ecotourism project associated with the Barati Rau waterfalls gives these local people employment. Anything you buy from the souvenir shops here will add up to their profits.
