A hidden gem in Uttarakhand, India, close to Mukteshwar is the Bhalu Gaad Waterfall. From late September to early December, the post-monsoon season is the ideal time to see this natural site. The weather is normally good with little to no rain, which makes it ideal for hiking and taking in the breathtaking scenery. The water is pure and cool, and the mist near the waterfall increases the likelihood of seeing a rainbow on sunny days.
In addition, April through June are the coolest months to visit because of the lower temperatures compared to the plains. But, in contrast to the months that follow the monsoon, there may be less water flow during the summer. When visiting Bhalu Gaad Waterfalls, it’s advised to begin the day early regardless of the season to avoid the midday sun and to make sure you have enough time to experience the location to the fullest. Before organizing a hike, visitors should carefully verify the weather and local circumstances because the routes can be treacherous and slippery, particularly during the rainy season.

It is situated in the state of Uttarakhand, between the Goriganga and Rishiganga valleys on the east and west, and is a portion of the Kumaon Himalayas. Its name translates to “Divine Bliss-Giver.” The mountain is revered as the Uttarakhand Himalaya’s patron goddess.In 1988, UNESCO designated the neighboring Nanda Devi National Park as a World Heritage Site.
Nanda Devi is a two-peaked massif that forms an east-west orientated high ridge extending two kilometers (1.2 mi) in length. Nanda Devi East is the name of the eastern summit; the west top is higher. The two summits are together known as the goddess Nanda’s twin peaks.
