History

How it came to be

The waterfall is fed by mountain streams that gather above the Grunas hamlet and fall over the lip of the canyon. It has been a favourite stop since Theth opened up to hikers, and the path to it is one of the first walks most visitors do in the valley.

What You’ll See

On a visit

The tall, narrow cascade and the pool at its base, the ferns and moss on the surrounding rock, and the views back over the valley from the trail. The Grunas Canyon, cut into the rock below, is close by.

How to Visit

A signed trail climbs from the village toward the Grunas hamlet; the walk takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour each way over rising ground. Wear proper shoes.

Best Time

Late spring to autumn, when the flow is strong
