Getting to the waterfall involves a bit of a walk, and locals will tell you conflicting estimates of the time required - anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending on who you ask and how fit you are. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. The trail isn't paved, gets muddy during monsoon, and has a few sketchy sections where you'll want to watch your footing.
Monsoon season (June through September) is when the waterfall is at its most impressive, with serious water volume creating that thundering cascade effect. Come during dry season and you might find a disappointing trickle. Local families prefer visiting just after the monsoon ends - still good water flow but easier trail conditions.
Don't expect changing facilities or food stalls at the waterfall itself, though you'll usually find vendors near the trail start selling drinks and snacks. The pool at the base is popular for a quick dip on hot days, but test the water depth before jumping in - it changes with the seasons. Weekends can get crowded with groups of young people treating it like a party spot, so weekdays offer a more peaceful experience.
