Chiling waterfalls

Chiling Waterfalls is a cascade dropping 80 meters into a natural pool, surrounded by thick tropical jungle and rock outcrops. The water flows through a series of smaller pools before reaching the main fall, creating a layered landscape.

The area was established as a protected zone in the early 2000s with the goal of safeguarding native Mahseer fish and their natural habitat. Since then, it has been maintained as a sanctuary specifically for this fish species.

The site holds meaning as a place where locals and visitors come together to experience nature in a managed way. People see this as part of their connection to the region's natural heritage and feel a shared responsibility to keep it healthy.

Reaching the falls requires crossing six river sections over a roughly 90-minute hike, so wear water-appropriate shoes and clothes you don't mind getting wet. Expect water that may reach waist-deep, and bring enough time and stamina for the journey.

A dedicated fish sanctuary here harbors Mahseer fish that you can spot swimming in the clear waters of the connected pools. Most visitors overlook these fish, yet they are an important part of what makes this place worth protecting.
