Neer Garh Waterfall,Uttarakhand

• Main cascading fall and tiered drops
• Natural rock pools suitable for paddling/swimming (seasonal)
• Short wooded trek/steps from the road to the fall
• Scenic viewpoints and photo spots
• Proximity to Rishikesh attractions (Lakshman Jhula, Beatles Ashram)

• Clear, cold mountain water sourced from Himalayan streams
• Multiple small tiers and plunge pools
• Lush subtropical Himalayan vegetation and rock formations
• Relatively easy access making it a popular short trek / picnic spot
• Dramatic flow variation: gentle in winter, powerful during/after monsoon

• Hiking/short trekking to the falls (easy to moderate)
• Bathing or dipping in natural pools during warmer months
• Photography and nature observation
• Picnics and relaxation near the pool (avoid littering)
• Birdwatching and light exploration of surrounding trails

Best time: October to June for comfortable weather and safer trekking. If you enjoy high flow: post-monsoon (late August–September) shows the waterfall at its most powerful but trails may be slippery.

Temperate foothill climate: cool winters (possible chill near water), warm pre-monsoon summers, and heavy rains in the monsoon (July–August). Expect wet and slippery rocks during/after rains.

Nearest city: Rishikesh (approximately 5–8 km, depending on the route). Nearest railway station: Rishikesh Railway Station (~6–10 km). Nearest airport: Dehradun (Jolly Grant) Airport (~30–40 km by road). Access details: drive or hire a taxi/auto to the trailhead and expect a short walk (often 0.5–1.5 km) over rocky steps and uneven paths to reach the falls. The trail can be steep in sections; not recommended for wheelchairs or easily for those with serious mobility issues. Mobile network coverage may be patchy in places.

Half-day (3–4 hours) if visiting only the falls; a full day if combining with Rishikesh sightseeing (Lakshman Jhula, Beatles Ashram, Ganga Aarti).

Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear (trail shoes or sandals with grip). Bring swimwear/towel if you plan to dip, a change of clothes, sunscreen, hat, and light rain jacket in monsoon season. Carry water, a small first-aid kit, and a garbage bag to pack out litter.

Small local tea/refreshment stalls or vendors may be present near the access road; full dining options are better found in Rishikesh. Popular buys in the area include spiritual items (Rudraksha beads, incense, prayer flags), Himalayan handicrafts, and Ayurvedic products.
