Kothapally waterfalls

Kothapally is a waterfall in Gangaraju Madugula in Visakhapatnam District that cascades down through multiple rocky levels. The water collects in natural pools surrounded by thick vegetation and forest cover.

A local villager named Vanthala Abbi discovered this natural formation and brought it to public attention as a tourist destination. The discovery led to the site becoming recognized as an important attraction in the Visakhapatnam region.

The falls take their name from a nearby village and represent a natural landmark within coffee plantations and communities that produce traditional sweets. Visitors can experience this connection to local agriculture and craftsmanship while exploring the surrounding area.

The falls are open throughout daylight hours with a small entrance fee required for access. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the path to the pools involves navigating slippery rocks and uneven terrain.

Just beyond the falls lie organic strawberry farms and traditional coffee plantations that visitors can explore directly. These agricultural operations offer a direct look at local production practices and complement a visit to the water feature.
