Adventurists love Mainapi waterfall

CANACONA: Mainapi waterfall of Netravali is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurists. Hidden amongst the dense forests of one of the nascent sanctuaries, the Mainapi waterfall in Netravali wild life sanctuary is truly a delight to visit for trekkers and nemophilists for its beauty.

Mainapi waterfall which might have got its name from the presence of many nests of a bird locally called Maina on the vertical wall of black granite stone is a cool 5 kms from the tar road and with so many ups and downs is a true test of trekkers stamina specially at the vertical slope up and down just before one reaches the waterfall. It takes more than 3 hours on foot to conquer this waterfall.
