Kempty Falls, Waterfall in Mussoorie, India
The water at Kempty Falls plunges from an elevation of 4,500 feet and separates into five distinct cascades through mountain cliffs.
British officer John Mekinan established this location as a tourist destination in 1835, marking the beginning of organized visits to the falls.
The falls form part of Uttarakhand, a region known as Dev Bhumi where ancient Vedic traditions and Hindu mythology intersect with natural formations.
Visitors can reach Kempty Falls via a 13-kilometer road from Mussoorie or through organized tours departing from Dehradun, the nearest major city.
The name Kempty derives from the term 'camp-tea', referring to the British practice of setting up tea camps near the waterfall location.
