Scores of visitors come daily for observing this cascade located at Gadaraya of Khaptad Chhanna rural municipality-7, said Bhuwan Joshi, a local.

According to him, however, it has shot into fame and started holding significance for them as hordes of people from neighboring districts have been pouring in for sight-seeing in recent days after the construction of a road leading to the waterfall.

People can go up-close the waterfall, splash the water and enjoy the nature around the area.
