With the monsoon gaining strength across Gujarat, several popular waterfalls have become active, drawing large crowds of tourists eager to enjoy the scenic beauty. However, the rise in water levels and slippery terrain have also increased the risk of accidents, prompting authorities to impose restrictions at several locations.
Waterfalls including Girma, Gira, Zanzari, Ninai, Jamjir and Zharwani are witnessing increased water flow following heavy rainfall, attracting visitors in large numbers.
Restrictions At Zanzari Waterfall
The Aravalli district administration has imposed restrictions in the Zanzari waterfall area from July 9 to September 6.
An approximately five-kilometre stretch from Zanzari waterfall to the Gangeshwar Mahadev check dam has been declared restricted.
Visitors have been prohibited from entering the river, going close to the water, or climbing dangerous rocks for photography and video recording.
The restrictions have been extended beyond the waterfall area, keeping festivals and public holidays in mind, when the site is expected to witness a higher tourist footfall.
Heavy Flow At Dang Waterfalls
Following heavy rainfall in Dang, waterfalls including Girma have seen a sharp rise in water flow. While the scenic landscape is attracting tourists, the surrounding forest and rainy conditions can make roads and rocks around the waterfall slippery.
Authorities have therefore urged visitors to exercise caution and avoid entering risky areas.
Ninai Waterfall Also Sees Tourist Rush
The Ninai waterfall in Narmada has also become active following good rainfall. The site generally attracts large crowds during weekends and public holidays during the monsoon.
Local reports have also previously raised concerns over drowning incidents at the waterfall, highlighting the risks associated with entering the water during periods of strong flow.
Meanwhile, restrictions have also been imposed earlier at Jamjir waterfall in Gir Somnath to prevent accidents during the monsoon season.
