Gira Waterfalls-Day-2
Located at a distance of 5
km from Waghai off Waghai-Saputara
road, the Gira waterfall is a 30
m natural plunge into the Ambika
river. Breathtakingly beautiful, this seasonal waterfall (June-December) is
among the most picturesque sights in the district.
Rising in the Kem hills situated near Bondarmal (Dangs) and
Shribhuvan (Maharashtra) villages, the river Ambika flows past Rambhas and
Waghai villages of the District and finally meets the Arabian Sea near Bilimora in Valsad district.
There are some tea and snacks stalls
along with view huts for relaxing and picnicking. Some make-shift shacks
selling various local handicrafts from bamboo. A typical Dangi village named
Ambapada is located near Gira falls. The route is soothingly scenic as it is
surrounded by lush and tall bamboos. The tourist can take a walk in and around
the village and visit some tribal
artists making various handicrafts from bamboo stem and roots.
