Bogatha Waterfall, Waterfall in Telangana, India
Bogatha Waterfall drops through tropical greenery into a wide natural pool lined by tall trees and fern groves. The basin collects the descending water in a calm area while the surrounding rock walls rise several dozen meters and support thick jungle.
Forest areas along rivers in the eastern Deccan Plateau were settled over centuries by communities living in the hills. The region later belonged to princely states before passing into modern administrative districts now forming Telangana.
Local tribal communities in the Wazedu mandal maintain traditional practices and conduct ceremonies near the waterfall during seasonal celebrations and festivals.
A short trail leads through the forest to the viewpoint and requires sturdy footwear due to slippery rocks and narrow passages. Visitors should bring enough drinking water and insect repellent since the surroundings are humid and remote.
The waterfall hides so deep in the Cheekupally forest that many travelers miss it and visit busier spots in the region instead. The remoteness has helped the surrounding wilderness remain largely untouched and showing few traces of human interference.
