About Mainapi Waterfall, Netravali
Savari's wilder twin: a ~4–5 km forest trek crossing streams to a taller, lonelier fall. Fewer people, more effort, and the full Netravali soundscape — cicadas, frogs, and water you hear long before you see it.
Why visit: the trekker's waterfall — fewer people, more effort, and the full Netravali soundscape on the way in.
