Chinchoti,Maharashtra,India

Chinchoti waterfall are located in Vasai, in the sub-urban areas of Mumbai. Located amidst lush green forests, Chinchoti waterfalls are comprised of a bunch of small and big waterfalls. The big waterfall plunges from a height of 100 ft. 
It is a good place to do some basic trekking, as the place is scenic, and has a few small treks around and to the the waterfalls. One can also check out some of the nearby attractions like Tungareshwar, which is the highest plateau of this area and Kamandurg Peak. Tungareshwar also has a temple that one can pay obeisance at.
The track is narrow jungle path and one can easily get lost without the help of escorts. The sound of the rains drops and orchestra of insects gives an eerie but adventurous feeling throughout this trek. You hear sound of watercourses trundling down rock faces chatting at a high frequency before it comes in your view.
Tourists visit this place to enjoy this majestic falls. This wonderful waterfall makes a great monsoon getaway for mumbaikars.
