After long tiring weeks of work I planned a trek to few
unexplored waterfalls in Western Ghats. When I visited here before I had a
plan to visit unexplored places nearby this place. But the locals over
here suggested, it would be better if we approach after November as it's
located in dense forest and it requires crossing stream, so we decided December
would be the right month to visit this place. We didn't have much
information about this place as there was Krishna and Mahabala knows about this
place. Thanks to Mr. Krishna who briefed and helped me to plan Nyger Waterfalls one
of the amazing and thrilling.
With a wonderful pleasant weather our bike ride was
very nice highly energetic and fully charged, we reached the starting point
after a hard ride on mud road we parked our bikes end of the road and started
our trek.
On initial stretch we crossed through thick jungles
where sun never reached. Every moment we spent in the mysterious rain forest
was a moment to reflect upon, making the day even more surreal and after
walking for an hour through medium toughness level terrain, finally we made to
reach top of the waterfalls.
We need to look down to see the beauty of the
falls. After spending lot of time on top of the waterfalls our curiousness
pushed to make a journey towards the base. But yet no one made it successful.
With great risk and pressure in mind we hiked down to next level. On top we
encountered a unique beauty and its magnificence made us to go next level.
We had some stunning views out over the top of the
waterfalls while we were heading down. From this point to the first base of the
waterfalls was even tougher to go and it was almost like getting down a huge
ninety degree steep rock. With great effort we did it with a help of Mahabala. Without
his bravery and support it wouldn't mere to impossible. We reached the base
(first step) by risky climb catching grip of strong roots of the big trees that
leap all over the rock strewn hill. This region was pretty dangerous because of
the thick vegetation and steep ravines. While climbing down the moss makes
staying on feet especially difficult.
We reached first stage of Nyger falls, which was
one of the best falls in Uttara Kannada district in the terms of overall rating
that I have visited, the way we approached it, the surroundings, the looks etc.
I stood looking at it for some time trying to capture it forever in my mind.
We enjoyed the sheer beauty of the falls, the sheer
power with which the water was flowing down and it seemed that it would pull
you away along with it and throws you into the gushing black rock hitting water
below. We tried to reach close, as the rocks near the base are sharp and very
slippery. While looking down it has one more stage and we can’t guess how long
it is. Downer stream of the falls has seen very tiny.
We felt so glad to watch the falls; it was like
gallons of milk pouring down. The hill stood still everything around was mute
except the sound of the waterfalls. We proud to say that fist human step in the
first stage of waterfalls is ours. With great reluctance we pulled ourselves
away from the beautiful sight, headed back the same way we had come, though
very exhausted our minds still residing with nature. We reached our places
looking forward and planning for another weekend trek same as Nyger another
magical place to dwell on.
Looks like a truly magical world! Wonderful photos there.
