Bamni Falls - Purulia - Tourists Visiting Indian Waterfalls - Risk
Bamni Falls, located within the Ajodhya Hills in Purulia, West Bengal, is a natural attraction known for its cascading water flowing over rugged, boulder-strewn terrain. It is famous for its tranquil, dense forest surroundings, steep trekking trail with narrow stairs, and serene environment. The waterfall cascades down in stages, with distinct levels, including around 350 to 750 steps through rocky, hilly terrain. Visiting the falls can be hazardous, particularly during the monsoon season, with risks including flash floods, extremely slippery rocks, and strong currents. Other dangers include taking selfies near steep, unguarded cliffs and leech infestations. Mass tourists stand on wet slippery rocks, take selfies, and some even go into the waterfall and collect water, at a place where a death occurred just a few days ago in Ajodhya Hill, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.
