Pochera Waterfalls: Was This 175 KM Ride Worth It?
Pochera Waterfalls had been sitting on my Google Maps watchlist for quite some time.
I have a simple system on Google Maps. Whenever I discover an interesting waterfall, temple, fort, trekking spot, or another place that I want to explore, I save it with a green flag. Once I finally visit that place, I mark it as completed with a thumbs-up emoji.
It may sound like a small thing, but slowly watching those green flags turn into completed trips has become one of my favorite parts of travelling.
After taking a long break from weekend rides, I opened my watchlist again.
One name immediately caught my attention.
Pochera Waterfalls.
That was enough.
I decided that my next ride would finally remove Pochera from the watchlist and add another memory to my journey.
The only problem was the weather.
The rainy season had not been behaving the way I expected, and I wasn’t sure whether Pochera water falls would have enough water to make the long ride worthwhile.
Then I thought about it differently.
Even if the waterfall had very little flow, I would still get a long motorcycle ride, a new route, some greenery and another day away from my regular routine.
So I decided to go anyway.
And luckily, what I found after riding nearly 175 km was much better than I expected.

Pochera Waterfalls Timings
There is some confusion online regarding the exact Pochera Waterfalls timings.
From my own experience, I reached the parking area at around 9:30 AM and could enter the waterfall area.
Because access can also depend on rainfall, forest staff and local conditions, I would personally recommend planning your visit roughly between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM instead of arriving extremely early or close to sunset.
This gives you enough daylight to enjoy the waterfall safely.
Pochera Waterfalls Entry Fee and Parking
Here I want to mention what happened during my actual visit, because the situation was a little unusual.
When I entered Pochera Waterfalls, nobody was sitting at the ticket counter, so I simply went inside.
Later, while leaving, I saw a forest officer or local staff member sitting near the entrance. I asked him directly about the ticket.
He told me:
- Entry ticket: ₹10 per person
- Parking: No charge
- Online payment: Available
- Cash: Still recommended as a backup
So I didn’t pay an entry fee while entering because nobody was present, but I confirmed the price before leaving.
Fees can change, so I would suggest carrying a little cash even if you normally depend on UPI.
Where Is Pochera Waterfalls Located?
Pochera Waterfalls is located in the Boath region of Adilabad district in northern Telangana.
The location makes it particularly interesting because it sits close to several other natural attractions.
According to the Adilabad district administration, Pochera is approximately:
- 8 km from Boath Buzurg
- 40 km from Nirmal
- 52 km from Adilabad
- 175 km from Karimnagar
- 260 km from Hyderabad
- 250 km from Warangal
The waterfall is surrounded by rocky terrain and greenery, which becomes especially beautiful during and after the monsoon.
If you’re coming from Hyderabad, Nirmal or Adilabad, NH44 makes a large part of the journey relatively straightforward.
My Google Maps Watchlist Finally Chose the Trip
I keep finding places randomly.
Sometimes through Instagram reels.
Sometimes while travelling somewhere else.
Sometimes while zooming around Google Maps for absolutely no reason.
Whenever something catches my attention, I save it.
That’s exactly how Pochera Waterfalls had entered my watchlist.
I had already travelled to several waterfalls across Telangana, but Pochera was still showing that green flag.
After a decent break from travelling, that unfinished place started bothering me a little.
Friday arrived, and the old weekend-trip routine automatically returned.
I cleaned my helmet.
Checked my riding gear.
Prepared everything I would need for the motorcycle ride.
The trip was happening.
But there was still one doubt in my mind.

Will There Even Be Water at Pochera?
The monsoon wasn’t particularly strong this time.
That made me question whether riding 175 km to see a waterfall was actually a good idea.
Imagine riding for almost four hours only to find dry rocks.
That thought definitely crossed my mind.
But I had already made the decision.
Even if Pochera Waterfalls disappointed me, the road wouldn’t.
For me, travelling on a motorcycle isn’t always about reaching some spectacular destination.
Sometimes the ride itself becomes the trip.
So I went to sleep early and waited for morning.
Starting My Ride From Karimnagar at 6 AM
I woke up early, got ready, packed my camera and put on my riding gear.
Then came one of my favorite sounds before any road trip.
The cold start of my bike.
At approximately 6:00 AM, I left home.
My destination was around 175 km away, and Google Maps was showing close to four hours of riding.
My Karimnagar to Pochera Waterfalls Route
I followed this route:
Karimnagar → Kondagattu → Korutla → Metpally → Soan → Nirmal → Kishtapur → Pochera Waterfalls
For someone travelling from Karimnagar, I found this route comfortable overall.
Most importantly, road conditions were generally good.
Karimnagar to Soan Road Conditions
From Karimnagar towards Soan, a large portion of my journey was on state highways.
The roads were mostly double lane and comfortable for a motorcycle.
Still, don’t assume the entire stretch is an open highway where you can maintain the same speed continuously.
You pass through towns and populated areas, so ride carefully and watch for:
- Local traffic
- Road crossings
- Slow-moving vehicles
- Village entrances
- Sudden speed breakers
- Vehicles joining the highway
The early-morning timing made the ride more enjoyable because traffic was manageable.
After riding through Kondagattu, Korutla and Metpally, I eventually reached Soan.
My Short Break at Soan Before Joining NH44
At Soan, the route connects towards NH44.
I had already spent a decent amount of time continuously riding, so instead of immediately continuing towards Nirmal, I stopped for a few minutes.
Nothing fancy.
I just got off the bike and stretched my body.
On longer motorcycle rides, even a short five-minute break can make a big difference.
After stretching and taking a little rest, I got back on the motorcycle and continued towards Pochera Waterfalls.
Riding Through Nirmal and the Beautiful Ghat Section
After Nirmal, the ride became much more interesting.
The road enters a ghat section, and this was probably one of my favorite portions of the onward journey.
Curving roads.
Green surroundings.
Hills.
And that feeling of riding through northern Telangana early in the day.
This is exactly why I enjoy doing these trips on a motorcycle.
A car may be more comfortable, but on a bike you feel much more connected to everything around you.
I wasn’t rushing through this section.
I simply enjoyed the corners and scenery while continuing towards Pochera.
One Road Sign Suddenly Reminded Me of My Mahurgad Ride
As I came closer to Pochera Waterfalls, I noticed something familiar.
Kinwat Road.
The moment I saw that road, my mind immediately went back to my previous Maharashtra ride.
During my [Renuka Mata Mahurgad trip], I had already experienced that road, and the conditions were bad enough that I clearly remembered mentioning them in my article.
So when I saw the Kinwat direction again, my reaction was basically:
“Yes… I remember you. And I don’t want that experience again.”
Luckily, this time I wasn’t travelling all the way towards Kinwat.
I turned towards Pochera Waterfalls.
Finding Pochera Waterfalls Was Easy
One thing I liked about reaching the waterfall was that the final approach wasn’t confusing.
There were clear signboards pointing towards Pochera Waterfalls, so I didn’t have to stop repeatedly and ask locals for directions.
Once you take the correct diversion, simply follow the signs towards the waterfall.
At around 9:30 AM, almost three and a half to four hours after leaving Karimnagar, I finally reached the Pochera Waterfalls parking area.
And surprisingly, the place looked almost empty.

Parking at Pochera Waterfalls
There was plenty of parking space available when I reached.
Since there was hardly anybody else around, finding a place for my motorcycle was obviously not an issue.
During my visit:
Parking charge: ₹0
I parked my bike, locked my helmet to it and took out my camera.
This was the moment when the long highway ride finally changed into a waterfall trip.
From the parking area, I only had to walk roughly 100 metres before something changed.
I couldn’t see the waterfall properly yet.
But I could hear it.
With every few steps, the sound became louder.
And that confused me.
Before starting this trip, I had been worried that poor rainfall would mean almost no water at Pochera.
But that sound definitely didn’t resemble a dry waterfall.
I walked a little closer.
The sound became even stronger.
Then I finally got my first proper look at Pochera Waterfalls.
And my biggest worry about this trip disappeared instantly.
The waterfall was flowing beautifully.
Much better than I had imagined.
That first view is where the real Pochera Waterfalls experience begins.

My First View of Pochera Waterfalls
The moment I finally saw Pochera Waterfalls, I was genuinely surprised.
Before starting this ride, I had been doubtful about the water flow because the rainy season had not been very strong. I had mentally prepared myself to see only a small stream of water.
But the reality was completely different.
The waterfall looked beautiful, and there was enough water flowing to make the entire journey feel worthwhile.
The loud sound I had heard while walking from the parking area finally made sense.
Standing there after riding around 175 km from Karimnagar felt satisfying.
Sometimes we overthink whether a trip will be worth it because of weather, road conditions or seasonal changes. In my case, I was simply happy that I had decided to come instead of cancelling the ride.

Almost No Crowd at Pochera Waterfalls
One thing that surprised me even more than the waterfall was the crowd.
There was basically no crowd at all.
I had reached around 9:30 AM, and even though it was a weekend, I was almost the only visitor enjoying the waterfall at that time.
For me, this was perfect.
As an introvert, I genuinely enjoy places where I can sit quietly without people constantly walking around, shouting or waiting behind me to take photos.
Many popular waterfalls become extremely crowded during the monsoon, especially on weekends.
Pochera felt completely different during my visit.
I could:
- Take photos peacefully
- Record videos without people constantly entering the frame
- Sit near the viewpoint
- Enjoy the sound of the waterfall
- Walk around the surroundings without rushing
- Spend some quiet time alone
Of course, the crowd situation can change depending on the season, holiday and time of day.
If you also prefer peaceful places, I would recommend reaching Pochera Waterfalls early in the morning.

Pochera Falls Photos: One of My Favourite Parts of the Trip
After reaching the viewpoint, I immediately took out my camera.
The greenery, rocks and waterfall together created a beautiful frame.
I clicked several Pochera Falls photos from different angles and also recorded a few videos.
If you’re visiting mainly for photography, morning is a great time because there may be fewer people around and you can comfortably experiment with different compositions.

Good Photo Opportunities at Pochera Waterfalls
From my visit, these were some of the best things to photograph:
- Full view of Pochera Waterfalls
- Water flowing between the rocks
- Green surroundings
- Garden area near the waterfall
- Walking paths
- Wide landscape shots
- Close-up waterfall videos
- Portrait photos with the waterfall in the background
The place is naturally photogenic, especially when there is good water flow.
You don’t necessarily need to go dangerously close to the waterfall to get good pictures.
There are enough areas around the main viewpoint where you can capture the scenery safely.

I Went Near the Restricted Area, But Safety Came First
There was a section where visitors were restricted from going closer to the waterfall.
When I visited, there was nobody around that particular area.
I did walk a little closer, but I stayed within my own safety limit.
I never tried to reach the edge of the waterfall or climb slippery rocks just to get one dramatic photograph.
I clicked a few photos and came back immediately.
Looking back, I would recommend other travellers respect the restricted areas even if no staff member is standing there.
Waterfall rocks can look completely normal but become extremely slippery because of water, moss and moisture.

Relaxing Around the Garden Area
After clicking enough photos, I came back towards the safer section and started walking around the garden.
There were benches where visitors could sit and rest.
After riding for almost four hours and then walking around the waterfall with my camera, sitting quietly on a bench felt good.
I spent some time simply looking around.
There was no rush.
No fixed schedule.
No group waiting for me.
That is one advantage I really enjoy about solo travelling.
You can stay somewhere for five minutes or two hours depending entirely on how you feel.
I clicked a few more photos of the surroundings and then sat there enjoying the atmosphere.
Altogether, I spent approximately one hour at Pochera Waterfalls.
For most travellers, I think around 1 to 2 hours is enough to explore the waterfall, take photographs and relax.

What Facilities Did I See at Pochera Waterfalls?
Based on my own visit, this is what travellers can expect around the main area.
| Facility | My Experience |
| Parking | Available |
| Parking Fee | Free during my visit |
| Entry Ticket | ₹10 per person |
| UPI/Online Payment | Available when I asked |
| Garden Area | Yes |
| Sitting Benches | Yes |
| Walking Distance From Parking | Roughly 100 metres |
| Crowd During My Visit | Very low |
| Photography | Allowed during my visit |
| Waterfall Access | Some close sections restricted |
Facilities, fees and access rules can change, especially during the monsoon, so treat this as my personal visit experience rather than a permanent rule.

A Funny Situation While Leaving Pochera Waterfalls
After spending roughly an hour there, I decided it was time to leave.
I walked back towards the entrance.
Then I noticed something strange.
The gate was closed.
For a moment, I thought:
“Did they close the waterfall because nobody was visiting?”
There was a forest officer or local staff member sitting nearby.
I quietly came outside, went towards my motorcycle and unlocked my helmet.
Just when I was getting ready to leave, a few other visitors started arriving.
So clearly I had simply reached at a very quiet time.
That’s when I remembered something important.
I knew Pochera Waterfalls normally had an entry ticket, but when I had arrived in the morning, nobody was there to collect it.
Before leaving, I decided to ask the person sitting near the entrance.
I asked him about the entry ticket.
He told me it was:
₹10 per person.
I also asked about parking.
He confirmed that there was no parking charge.
Online payment was available as well, although I would still recommend carrying some cash because network connectivity can always become unpredictable around rural tourist locations.

Pochera Waterfalls Entry Fee From My Visit
For quick reference:
- Entry ticket: ₹10 per person
- Parking: Free during my visit
- Digital payment: Available
- Cash: Recommended as backup
Because nobody was at the counter when I entered, I didn’t actually pay the ticket during entry.
That’s why I specifically asked while leaving, so I could share the correct amount from my experience.

Kuntala Waterfalls to Pochera Waterfalls Distance
After wearing my helmet, I started my return journey.
Once I connected back towards the NH44 side, I noticed a familiar road sign.
Kuntala Waterfalls.
The sign showed that Kuntala was only around 18 km away from the Pochera side of my route.
That immediately made me realise something.
If someone starts early in the morning, visiting Pochera Waterfalls and Kuntala Waterfalls on the same day is absolutely worth considering.
I had already visited Kuntala Waterfalls on another trip, so I didn’t go there again this time.
If you’re planning your first visit, you can also check my complete – Kuntala Waterfalls travel guide where I have shared my personal experience, entry fee, steps, photography tips, road journey and other useful information.
Pochera Waterfalls + Kuntala Waterfalls One-Day Plan
A simple itinerary can look like this:
| Time | Plan |
| Early Morning | Start towards Pochera Waterfalls |
| 9:00–10:00 AM | Reach Pochera |
| Next 1–2 Hours | Explore Pochera Waterfalls |
| Late Morning | Leave for Kuntala |
| Around Noon | Reach Kuntala Waterfalls |
| Afternoon | Explore Kuntala and have lunch |
| Evening | Start return journey |
The actual timings will depend on where you’re travelling from.
But because the Kuntala Waterfalls to Pochera Waterfalls distance is relatively short, combining both can make your long drive much more worthwhile.
Which Should You Visit First: Pochera or Kuntala?
If you’re starting early, I would personally choose Pochera Waterfalls first.
Why?
During my morning visit, there was almost nobody there.
Visiting Pochera early gives you a better chance to experience the peaceful side of the waterfall.
After that, you can continue towards the more popular Kuntala Waterfalls.
A practical order would be:
Pochera Waterfalls → Kuntala Waterfalls → Return
However, your ideal order may change depending on your starting city and road route.
Other Waterfalls You Can Add to Your Telangana List
If waterfalls are the main reason you’re travelling through Telangana, Pochera isn’t the only one worth adding to your watchlist.
I have personally explored several waterfalls across the state.
You can also check my guides to:
- Kuntala Waterfalls – One of the most popular waterfalls in the Adilabad region.
- Bogatha Waterfall – A beautiful waterfall in eastern Telangana that becomes especially impressive during the rainy season.
- Sabbitham Waterfalls – A smaller waterfall near the Karimnagar-Peddapalli side that works well for a short trip.
- Thiryani Waterfalls – A more adventurous option where the surrounding route itself becomes part of the experience.
Each waterfall offers a completely different type of journey.
Pochera stood out to me mainly because of how peaceful my visit was.
Choosing a Different Route for My Return Journey
Instead of returning through exactly the same route, I decided to change things.
My return route was:
Pochera Waterfalls → Mamda → Khanapur → Metpally → Korutla → Karimnagar
Changing the route made the return journey feel like another small adventure rather than simply repeating the morning ride.
From Mamda towards Metpally, I travelled through several village roads.
Most of this section was single lane.
The road condition was generally good during my trip, but there were plenty of speed breakers because the route passes through villages.
So don’t ride too fast even if the road looks empty.
Mamda to Metpally Route Was Beautiful
What this road lacked in highway speed, it made up for in scenery.
There was greenery everywhere.
Agricultural fields.
Small villages.
Quiet roads.
And long stretches where I could simply enjoy riding without the heavy traffic you normally experience on major highways.
I actually loved this return route.
For a motorcycle rider, sometimes these smaller village roads become more memorable than national highways.
You don’t travel as fast, but you get to see a completely different side of the region.
A Tea Break That Surprisingly Made My Day Better
After riding through several villages, I stopped at a Tea Time outlet for a small break.
I ordered tea.
Normally, I don’t always enjoy the taste at every franchise outlet. I had tried Tea Time at another location earlier and wasn’t particularly impressed.
But this one was different.
The tea tasted really good.
Maybe it was genuinely better.
Or maybe after riding for hours through village roads, even a simple hot tea naturally tastes ten times better.
Either way, it gave me exactly the boost I needed for the remaining journey.
After finishing my tea, I got back on the motorcycle and continued towards Karimnagar.
Finally Reaching Home After Another Long Ride
The return journey took me roughly five hours.
Eventually, I reached home safely.
By then, I was tired, hungry and completely ready to remove my riding gear.
I freshened up and finally had lunch at around 3:00 PM.
After eating, I did what I usually do after returning from a trip.
I selected a good photo from Pochera Waterfalls and uploaded it to my status.
Then I rested.
One more green flag on my Google Maps watchlist had turned into a real journey.
One more location became a memory instead of just a saved pin.
And that’s probably what keeps me planning these weekend rides.
There will always be another green flag waiting somewhere on my map.
How to Reach Pochera Waterfalls?
The waterfall itself drops through rocky formations into a deeper pool below. The district tourism page describes the cascade as reaching a depth of around 20 metres.
For travellers planning their first visit, this section covers everything I would want to know before starting the journey.
How to Reach Pochera Waterfalls?
The easiest way to reach Pochera Waterfalls is by your own motorcycle, car or hired cab.
The waterfall is accessible from the Nirmal-Adilabad side, with the final road taking you towards the Boath/Pochera region. The official district website lists Pochera as roughly 40 km from Nirmal, making Nirmal a useful base for travellers coming from Hyderabad or southern Telangana.
Pochera Waterfalls Distance and Route
| Starting Point | Approximate Distance | Suggested Route |
| Karimnagar | Around 175 km on my onward route | Karimnagar → Kondagattu → Korutla → Metpally → Soan → Nirmal → Kishtapur → Pochera |
| Nirmal | Around 40 km | Nirmal → Boath side → Pochera Waterfalls |
| Adilabad | Roughly 47–52 km | Adilabad → Boath side → Pochera |
| Hyderabad | Roughly 250–260 km depending on starting point | Hyderabad → Kamareddy → Nizamabad → Nirmal → Pochera |
| Kuntala Waterfalls | Around 18 km according to the road sign I saw | Follow local navigation between the two waterfalls |
Hyderabad to Pochera Waterfalls
If you’re travelling from Hyderabad, Pochera is a much longer day trip.
A practical road route is:
Hyderabad → Kamareddy → Nizamabad → Nirmal → Pochera Waterfalls
Most of the long-distance journey follows the NH44 corridor before you turn towards the waterfall region. Pochera at roughly 257 km from Hyderabad.
For Hyderabad travellers, I would recommend starting very early, especially if you want to visit both Pochera and Kuntala.
Suggested Hyderabad One-Day Plan
- 4:30–5:00 AM: Leave Hyderabad
- Morning: Breakfast around Kamareddy, Nizamabad or Nirmal
- 9:30–10:30 AM: Reach Pochera Waterfalls
- 11:30 AM: Leave Pochera
- Around Noon: Continue towards Kuntala
- Afternoon: Explore Kuntala and have lunch
- Before evening: Start towards Hyderabad
Don’t treat these as fixed timings. Traffic, breakfast stops, rainfall and your exact Hyderabad location can easily change the schedule.
If driving for 500+ km in a single day feels tiring, staying overnight in Nirmal or Adilabad is the better option.
How to Reach Pochera Waterfalls by Bus?
I don’t want to give a direct bus timing without personally verifying it.
If you’re depending completely on public transport, I would first reach Nirmal, Boath or Adilabad and enquire locally about the latest transport towards Pochera.
For this particular destination, your own vehicle or a cab gives you much more flexibility.
This becomes even more useful if you plan to combine Pochera with Kuntala.
Best Time to Visit Pochera Waterfalls
From a traveller’s point of view, I would divide it like this:
| Season | What to Expect |
| Monsoon | Stronger flow, lush greenery, but more slippery and potentially dangerous |
| Post-Monsoon | Good balance of greenery, water flow and easier travel |
| Winter | Official district tourism recommendation for viewing Pochera |
| Summer | Water flow may reduce significantly, so check recent conditions before a long journey |
For photography and greenery, I personally prefer the rainy or post-rainy landscape.
But heavy rain is not automatically better.
Very strong water flow can make waterfall areas dangerous.
Pochera Waterfalls vs Kuntala Waterfalls
After visiting both separately, I feel they offer different experiences.
| Pochera Waterfalls | Kuntala Waterfalls |
| Very peaceful during my morning visit | More famous and generally attracts more visitors |
| Short walk from parking during my visit | Requires going down a significant number of steps |
| Garden and sitting area | More physically demanding to explore |
| Great for a relaxed stop | Better if you want a larger waterfall experience |
| I spent around 1 hour here | Keep more time for Kuntala |
If you have enough time, I wouldn’t choose between them.
Visit both.
Best One-Day Waterfall Combination
For most travellers, my first recommendation would be:
Pochera Waterfalls → Kuntala Waterfalls
Why this combination?
Because both are close enough to cover without spending your entire day moving between distant attractions.
If you reach Pochera early, spend around 1 to 1.5 hours there and then continue towards Kuntala.
Suggested Order
- Reach Pochera Waterfalls in the morning.
- Spend around 1–2 hours.
- Leave for Kuntala Waterfalls.
- Explore Kuntala.
- Have lunch.
- Start your return journey with enough daylight remaining.
For travellers who enjoy quiet photography, visiting Pochera first makes even more sense.
Nearby Places to Visit Around Pochera Waterfalls
If you have more than one day, there are several attractions around the Adilabad-Nirmal region.
1. Kuntala Waterfalls
This is the most obvious combination.
Kuntala is one of the best-known waterfalls in the district, and the official district site describes it as the highest waterfall in Telangana, where the Kadem River drops approximately 45 metres.
Best for: Waterfalls, photography, nature and a longer stop.
2. Jainath Temple
If your journey takes you towards Adilabad, Jainath Temple can be another option.
The temple is around 20 km from Adilabad, and the district administration notes an old Prakrit inscription at the site and architectural links to a Pallava chief.
Best for: Travellers combining nature and religious places.
My Pochera Waterfalls Trip Cost
Every trip, I recorded all my travel expenses in the RoadBee app. I usually prefer tracking my ride expenses so I can clearly see how much I spent on fuel, food, entry tickets, and other small costs during the journey. It also helps me calculate the actual budget of the trip instead of guessing later.
These are the costs I personally confirmed:
| Expense | Cost During My Visit |
| Pochera Waterfalls entry | ₹0 |
| Motorcycle parking | ₹0 |
| Fuel | ₹2107 (16lts) |
| Food/tea | ₹20 |
| Photography | No separate charge during my visit |
| Total Cost | ₹2127 |
My Final Thoughts on Pochera Waterfalls
This journey started because of one green flag sitting on my Google Maps watchlist.
For a long time, Pochera Waterfalls was just another saved location.
Then one Friday I cleaned my helmet and riding gear.
The next morning I cold-started my bike.
And by 9:30 AM, that green flag had turned into another real memory.
I had worried that poor rainfall would leave me staring at a nearly dry waterfall.
Instead, I found beautiful water flow, hardly any crowd and enough peace to simply sit there and enjoy the place.
That’s why I keep saving destinations.
Not every green flag has to become some life-changing trip.
Sometimes it becomes a quiet waterfall.
Sometimes a difficult trek.
Sometimes a temple hundreds of kilometres away.
Sometimes just a good road and a cup of tea in a small village.
But slowly, one by one, those saved places turn into stories.
Pochera Waterfalls is now one more completed place on my map.
And somewhere on that map, another green flag is already waiting for the next weekend.
