India Waterfalls are amongst the most unsung attractions of subcontinental Asia. For when one thinks of this dynamic country, all sorts of adjectives and place names come into play like the Taj Mahal, spices, Kashmir, tigers, Bollywood, confronting poverty, chaos, out-of-control population explosion, deeply religious, outsourced IT, etc.
But one thing we've come to realize when asked to summarize our experiences in this country is that it's really hard to associate India with any one word or phrase for it'd be selling so many things about the country short. Indeed, the subcontinent is never as you'd expect it regardless of how many Indian friends you've got, how much you've read or learned about India, or how many pictures you've already seen. It's just a place that you have to come and experience for yourself, and become transformed in the process.
And this confounding property about the country is also the case with the waterfalls of India. For as unsung as the natural attractions are, waterfalling here will definitely put you off the beaten path (see map), out of your comfort zone, and right into the heart of some of the best as well as some of the most worrisome aspects about the country's Nature and how the people deal with survival as well as land management.
Our experiences put us directly in front of the country's

The mountain forests in India are an integral part of the country`s natural vegetation. These forests are mainly located at a high altitude in the mountains and usually vary to a great extent along the slopes of mountain. The Himalayas are the main place where these mountain forests can be found in India. The forests can be found unto a height of 1500 meters, on the foothills of the Himalayas. At this altitude, the evergreen trees like Sal, Teak, Bamboo and Cane grow abundantly and dominate the natural vegetation in mountain forests. The temperate conifer trees like Pine, Fir, Oak, Maple, Deodar, Laurel Spruce, Ceder, etc. grow in plenty on higher slope between 1,500 meters to 3,500 meters and dominate the mountain forests. The plant species like Rhododendrons and Junipers are found at the higher altitude of the Himalayas. The alpine grasslands appear up to snowfield, beyond all these vegetation belts.
