Survani waterfall : Less crowded than more famous Zarwani

Survani Waterfall

So as our trips are almost none in last 1 and half month, our post also became less frequent...but what can I say we are enjoying this new phase just like we were enjoying our trips...but the best part of the week was, younger son asked Sheel that pappa please take me to one short trek please... and now I feel that the purpose of our trips is successful...they are missing our Sunday morning routine as much as we do...

This trip was back from August... the monsoon was in form of few showers here and there but we were positive that Zarwani waterfall must be open.. but as usual due to SOU, the crowd at Zarwani has increased immensely mainly on weekends. Then on Google Earth, we found this one. after looking at youtube videos we were sure that this was the trek for that Sunday. And this was the first Sunday when up till 4:30 in the morning we were not sure where are we heading? Zarwani, Survani, or Neja in a completely opposite direction...Finally, kids choose this...

Follow the road of Haripura and you are on the right path. once you reach the Survani village, take a small left turn as shown in the picture below.

It is very unique in a way of trees all around us, small but steep hill, and herds of cows accompanying you going over to the fields far from the fall...

When we reached the site, the fall was not started yet. Though the villagers have told us that from the beginning, the kids were adamant to go to this site only. They had enjoyed the trek, along with the village kids. They climbed trees, made swings of the tree branches, and did racing with them. It was a totally different experience for all of us. according to the villagers, once the waterfall starts this place also had almost 500-600 visitors every Sunday...
