Getaway from Ahmedabad to Zanzari waterfalls on an adventurous day excursion

Khushbu Kirti

Located at a distance of roughly 82 kms from Ahmedabad, between Dehgam and Bayad, is a cascading beauty- the Zanzari Waterfalls.

This halt between Dehgam and Bayad, requires a pinch of adventure, a smidge of effort and boom — you're there, in the lap of absolutely scenic beauty. Situated on the banks of river Vatrak (tributary of mighty Sabarmati River), Zanzari falls are elegant cascades falling on a broad riverbed made of rocks.

From taking a rather eventful camel ride to easy hiking for a panoramic view here, tell us what makes for a better Sunday?

What you can do around the falls

Once you reach the parking zone here, you can decide to opt for either a short 2 km hike or choose riding on a camel escorting you to the falls. You can also find tea stalls, fast food junctions near the parking area, too, and a few temples to worship at. Now once you reach the cascades, enjoy! However, a word of caution: Remain vigil near the falls for the rocks are slippery and there is fear of losing balance and falling.

Nevertheless, it is during the rainy season, the place blooms in greenery, all forms of natural life assuming maturity to render tranquility and magnificence. And if you pick a time between February to May or the months of September and October to visit the place, you'll hit the right spot for the series of falls look perfect just then.
