Bamni Falls, nestled within the Ajodhya Hills in Purulia, West Bengal, is a scenic, offbeat natural attraction known for its captivating, 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, unspoiled 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. Risks include flash floods, extremely slippery rocks, and strong currents. Other dangers are fatal selfies, falling from steep, unguarded cliffs, and leech infestations. Here, mass tourists have fun and take selfies while standing on wet slippery rocks, while some even go into the waterfall and collect the water, at a place where a death occurs just a few days ago in Ajodhya Hill, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.
