Ethipothala Falls(Near Nagarjuna Sagar)

               At a distance of 14 Kms from Nagarjuna Sagar & 176 Kms from Hyderabad, Ethipothala waterfalls are striking falls on River Chandra Vanka (a tributary of River Krishna), down the waters of the Dam.

                   With an elevation of about 70 feet, the water flows down from Chandravanka Mountains. The falls are located in a beautiful locality surrounded by greenery all the sides. It is possible to climb down to get close to the falls and bath in the waters of the pool at bottom. But not allowed to go to foot of the falls and it's dangerous as well.

              To reach the falls from Nagarjuna Sagar, go towards Macherla on SH1 for about 8 Kms and take left turn to Ethipothala Falls (sign board available) and drive for 3 Kms; the road is good throughout.

AP Tourism has developed a very good restaurant with two rooms for accommodation and wonderful garden with toilet facilities at this place. Once can enjoy half day trip at this place watching falls, bathing and roaming around.

Timings: 6:30 AM to 9 PM. Entry fee: Rs 20 for adults & Rs 15 for children.
