The entire observation is extremely absorbing. Switch off the ACs of your cars before entering the Varandha Ghat section as the fresh air you can enjoy here is scarce anywhere in the city.The waterfalls that looks sleek from a distance become huge with plenty of water dropping in a loud sound. Some of the waterfalls are so big that it won’t be too much if they are named properly. There is no shortage of falls on either side of the road as with every turn you make on the road a new and differently sized waterfall welcomes you with full zest. There are dozens of them so it is difficult to choose the best one to get wet under it.
