Dabhosa waterfall is 180-200km far from surat. Simply Phenomenal and spectacular, Dabhosa Waterfalls is a waterfall situated in the village of Dabhosa in Jawhar Tehsil, palghar district, Maharashtra, India. This waterfall is located over the Lendi River and cascades down from a height of 300 feet. The best time to visit is August through February

Huge waterfall and you can go to the base of the waterfall. One can see the waterfall from the viewpoint or trek down to the base for the real feel. The viewpoint is located near to the dabhosa waterfall resort, you would find 1-2 small shops selling packed snacks/vada pav/cucumber/tea/cold drinks. Currently, shops are close due to corona.

You can easily trek to the base of the waterfall using stairs. The stairs did not exist only for a small patch but you can manage by cautiously guiding your foot over stones/mud. It may get slippery/watery if it rains at that time.
Not advisable for elders or small kids for the trek to base.
Once you have reached the base, you would notice mist in the area which would let you relax and feel good after the trek to the base. The waterfalls are perennial and remain for some months after the monsoon. We could trek down the waterfall to reach the base. The falls can also be viewed from the viewing platform above.
