The natural beauty of forest areas becomes more captivating in the rainy season. The waterfalls in the forest areas look more beautiful. Today, we will talk about one such well-known waterfall located in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. The name of the waterfall is Dharapalli Waterfalls. Let us know more about this famous tourist attraction in this article.
The waterfall is located in the dense forest area near Prathipadu in Kakinada district. People have to enter the deep forest to witness the Dharapalli Waterfalls. Unlike most waterfalls, which are usually located on the outskirts of forests, the waterfall can only be seen after walking more than 5 km through the forest. The journey to the waterfall is itself an experience, with the surrounding natural beauty making it even more special for the travellers.
The village of Dharapalli is situated around 10 km from the Prathipadu-Rachapalle national highway. The place is surrounded by tall hills. According to reports, the entire area is known for its rich flora and is home to many medicinal plants. The region attracts millions of tourists every year.
Many scientists around the globe often speak about the significance of the medicinal plants around the waterfall. Several ashrams in the area are established by spiritual leaders and sages. The sages believe bathing in the waterfall can cure many ailments.
The Dharapalli Waterfalls draw a huge crowd, with people visiting with their families. Some people also do picnics in the forest area before heading to the waterfall. The dense canopy of trees prevents even a ray of sunlight from touching the ground which makes the forest more beautiful. This place looks more beautiful in the rainy season. With the recent rains, the water flow has increased drastically, which led to a surge in number of tourists. The road leading to this spot is in very poor condition. The locals have also requested the government to repair the road.
