A waterfall is where water rushes down a steep ledge. The water flows from the higher ground, then falls over a large rock ridge to the lower ground from the softer rocks where it will continue its journey. Usually, the lowest ground is in a narrow lane. The waterfalls usually form when the river is young, in places where the soft rocks are under the hard ones. India is home to many beautiful waterfalls. Some waterfalls are surrounded by lush green mountains whereas some waterfalls are located deep between forests. These waterfalls excite photography enthusiasts as well as nature lovers.
