  • 02Barachukki & Gaganachukki Falls

    On a trip to the island town of Shivanasamudra, travellers must visit Barachukki Falls and Gaganachukki Falls, which are formed when Shivanasamudra Waterfalls divide. Plummeting from a height of 200 ft, both the waterfalls lie opposite each other, Barachukki Falls on the eastern side and Gaganachukki Falls on the western side.

    The best time to visit these falls is during the monsoon season, which falls between the months of July and October. On closer observation, people will notice that Barachukki Falls, which is wider than Gaganchukki Falls, has a narrow path of stairs carved in the rocks.
