Lotus Waterfall Trek | Ekole Valley
The trek to the Bhorambi waterfall pond, also known as Lotus Waterfall, in Ekole Valley offers an exhilarating and adventurous journey through a rocky riverbed. The trail leads to the breathtaking sight of a massive pond, from which the waterfall cascades into the Ekole Valley in three layers.
This trek presents significant challenges due to steep sections and the deep pond at the endpoint. It's crucial for non-swimmers to follow safety guidelines and refrain from entering the pond without a life jacket. Even experienced swimmers should exercise caution, as deep water can pose risks. Wearing a life jacket provides an additional layer of safety for all trekkers.
