Neergarh Waterfall Trek Overview

The Neergarh Waterfall Trek is also one of the most popularly known short treks (one of the most scenic) around Rishikesh (Uttarakhand). This trek takes you through the Badrinath Highway and culminates in a multi-level waterfall hidden deep within lush forests, located in the lower Garhwal Himalayas. This trek is an easy choice for anyone who is new to trekking, families and kids, or individuals wishing to enjoy a forest trail, waterfall experience, and/or trekking without having to go to higher altitudes. The trailhead of Neergarh waterfall is located on the banks of a babbling brook, and the trek winds through beautiful Sal forests, up stone staircase paths, passes by little streams and natural pools. You'll enjoy the sound of water running, birds chirping, and the peaceful silence of the forest; there's no better way to escape the noise of the busy ghats of Rishikesh than by taking this short trek to Neergarh Waterfall. You can easily make a half-day trip of it if you are a person travelling with limited time.

History of Neergarh Waterfall Trek

The local Garhwali village has always had ties to the Neergarh area and its traditional use of the forests over the years; for example, the name 'Neer' originates from the Hindi language (meaning 'water'), indicating that many natural springs and water-fed streams exist there. Historically, the paths that run through these areas of forest have always been used by locals for accessing water sources, obtaining firewood, and grazing livestock. Similar to other places in the Rishikesh area with forested landscapes, Neergarh has also attracted many sages and sadhus (Hindu monks) throughout history who preferred their practice near the water bodies. Thus, many caves and shaded areas of the forest made great locations for meditating or performing other spiritual practices solely due to the peacefulness of the environment. As time passed, many people began to recognise the beauty of this series of waterfalls that cascade down the mountain, leading to an increase in the number of tourists and trekkers in the area. Even though the waterfall has become so popular today, the walk toward this site still has many areas that will provide a sense of natural beauty, especially as the waterfall cascades several times before you reach its final destination.
