Kuntala & Pochera Water Falls
The state of Telangana is known for its vast stretches of wildlife and teeming nature and Adilabad district has some of the dense forest ranges in the state.
Located at a distance of 261 kms from Hyderabad, one can visit a breathtaking waterfall in the Adilabad district of Telangana. After travelling a distance of approximately 40 km from Nirmal, one simply falls short of words to describe the untouched beauty. Located on the banks of Kadem River in Neredigonda mandal, Kuntala is considered the highest waterfall in the state of Telangana with a height of 147 feet. The water gushes through the rocks making its own path from a height of 147 feet and then splits in to multiple streams. While there are many scenic waterfalls, this one is really accessible. Climbing up further to reach to top of Kuntala falls may seem to be a good idea, but one has to be careful as it is too steep. To add adventure, tourists can enjoy trekking at the Kuntala waterfalls through big boulders for reaching the footsteps of the waterfalls.
At a distance of 37 kms from Nirmal town, you will find the enthralling Pochera waterfall. This beautiful waterfall is the deepest of all the waterfalls in Telangana. The location is completely secluded and surrounded by scenic environment. The waterfall has great width and height, which makes it the deepest in Telangana. The fall is 20-meter high and flows down with a gushing force, and these are categorized as plunge waterfalls. The holy river Godavari which flows through the Sahyadri mountain range breaks into small streams which meet at a point and become the main source for the Pochera falls. The bed is much deeper with a capacity to hold a large quantity of water. The extremely beautiful waterfall is a rare such destination in the country. The verdant and dense green forest around the waterfall makes it a natural habitat for bird species, reptiles, and many insects and hence serves as a nice adventurous location. The Narsimha Swamy temple located near the waterfall adds a spiritual touch to the beautiful location.
