Bhata Falls

Bhata Falls featuring a waterfall and a river or creek
This secluded waterfall is a popular picnic spot surrounded by verdant hills and home to a swimming hole, which is ideal for taking a refreshing swim.

Bhatta Falls is a picturesque waterfall set within the striking scenery of Mussoorie’s countryside. Relax with a picnic as you admire the falls, listen to the soothing sounds of cascading water, snap postcard-perfect photos and cool off with a swim in the natural pool. A visit to Bhatta Falls presents the chance to rejuvenate the body and soul amid the confines of unprecedented natural beauty. It’s a popular recreational spot for tourists and local residents alike.

A stone stairway leads to various viewpoints at the waterfall. Watch as the milky-white water spills down a rocky cliff and into a series of pools and streams. Take time to admire the lush foliage of the surrounding tree-covered hills. Climb to the top of the stairway to marvel at the superb top-down views of the waterfall and across the nearby countryside. 

At the base of the waterfall a staircase provides access to a large pool. Sit on the rocks and watch as locals wade in the shallow water. On a hot day you might want to cool off from the sun with a revitalizing swim. If you get hungry when visiting, purchase snacks and drinks from the small café. Otherwise, bring your own picnic to enjoy while admiring the scenic surroundings.

The waterfall is about a 25-minute drive from the centre of Mussoorie. Get here by taking a taxi or a public bus to Bhatta village. From there, the waterfall is about a 2-mile (3-kilometre) walk. The drive from Mussoorie is via a winding road, which passes rugged mountains, pristine terraced fields and sleepy hilltop hamlets.

You can visit Bhatta Falls year-round, although heavy rain in July and August can cause landslides and restrict access. Avoid swimming elsewhere in the streams, which are often filled with algae. Be careful if climbing on the rocks as overspill from the waterfall makes them slippery.
