Hyderabad: After ages, and much to the joy of visiting public, over half a dozen waterfalls in Telangana State have come alive. Thanks to widespread rainfall, rivers and streams are drawing down loads of water, making waterfalls the star attraction in districts like Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Mahbubnagar.
While people from near and far are visiting these places in droves, many waterfall points lack basic amenities. They are located in thick forests and the government does not allow setting up of hotels and other facilities there. This, though, is not stopping people from reaching out to the waterfalls. What they do is to arrange stay and food in nearby towns or cities and head for the destinations.
The Kuntala waterfalls is the highest waterfalls in the state. With waters from River Kadam falling from a height of 150 feet in Kuntala forest area of  Neredigonda mandal in Adilabad district, this is the most-visited waterfall site today. The Telugu film Rudramadevi was partly shot here, adding to the people’s interest in visiting this place.
Kuntala waterfalls is named after Shankuntala, consort of King Dushy-anth, who is believed to have bathed here as per mythology.
Close to this is the Pochera waterfalls in Boath mandal, about 50 km from Adilabad. A narrow stream of Godavari, which flows down the Sah-yadri mountain ranges, it falls from a height of 20 metres. The beauty of the locale is breathtaking.
