Kundalapalem Waterfall Trek

A hidden waterfall journey through forest trails, streams and remote landscapes

Follow the sound of water into the heart of the forest — stream crossings, jungle trails and a hidden waterfall few people have seen.

Kundalapalem is the quieter, wilder cousin of our waterfall days. The 6–8 km route works through proper jungle — stream crossings, rocky sections, valley views — before arriving at a hidden waterfall for a swim and an outdoor lunch. Small groups, remote feel, back in Vizag by dinner.

Questions, answered

How is this different from Jalada?

Longer, wilder and quieter — more stream crossings and jungle, a waterfall almost nobody visits.

Will I get wet before the waterfall?

Probably — the stream crossings are part of the fun. Wear shoes that can take water.

Is it safe for first-timers?

Yes — easy-to-moderate, guided throughout, with first aid carried.
