Where Umbrella Waterfall is Located
This beautiful waterfall is located 27 kilometers away from Havelian. When you reach the village of Poona you have to hike down 30 to 45 minutes to witness this beauty. It is quite near to the famous Sajikot waterfall. As this spot is newly discovered, the road to reach this place is not well paved. Even hiking is quite tough. If there is rain then the hiking area becomes very slippery. So you have to be careful about it. Wear the proper shoes to avoid tripping.
