Here's a link of Travelet's visit to Dugarwadi Waterfalls -
To reach to the base of the waterfall, we have to trek down through the green dense forest.
Initially, there was no proper way to descend down but now a proper path has been prepared which allows travelers to easily reach the base of the waterfall. We have to cross through the stream that is generated by the continuous falling of water to reach to the desired base spot.
During monsoon, the mountains around are covered with fog and cloud, and continuous drizzle adds to the beauty and perfection of this lace.
Away from the concrete jungle, this place is beautiful, serene and is a sure shot memorization for anybody. The frequency of people visiting this place is not in huge numbers which have somehow helped to keep this place clean, sparkling and pristine.
Due to the low numbers of visitors and fewer security measures around the waterfall, it is advisable to visit this waterfall during the daytime and in groups if possible.
Also during the rainy season water level may suddenly rise which has happened in past owing to incidents with bad results and hence carrying necessary equipment is also advisable.
Although there are local stalls available near to the waterfall, it would be thoughtful if you pack your food beforehand. If you do not carry your food, chances are that you might need to spend your whole day on Maggi, bhajia, and tea. If you are lucky you can also find the corn or as it is famously called the 'Bhutta' stall nearby.
