Wainui Falls was perhaps the most accessible waterfall that we were aware of in the Tasman Region. It was for this reason that we targeted this waterfall for a visit while we were staying…

Ohau Falls was a thin but pretty waterfall that turned out to be quite the popular spot when we made a visit here in early January 2010. We had been told that New Zealand fur seals would sometimes…

Maruia Falls was one of the few wide river waterfalls that we were able to experience somewhat closely from its bottom. The other waterfall that came to mind in this category was Raukawa Falls…

Mangatini Falls was definitely our favourite waterfall of the ones that we didn’t get to see on our first trip to New Zealand in 2004 but we were able to see on our second go in 2009-2010. While…

The Fox Glacier Waterfalls were the series of waterfalls that Julie and I encountered when we finally had a chance to visit this glacial counterpart to the more famous Franz Josef Glacier in…

Hidden Falls was a waterfall that I really was torn about visiting because I knew that it was pretty far into the Hollyford Track (at least far enough to make me question whether we should do it…

Wakefield Falls was perhaps the most prominent of all the named waterfalls that we were aware of in the vicinity of the great Mt Cook (Aoraki was its Maori name). Indeed, this waterfall…

Acland Falls was the first of three waterfalls that Julie and I visited in the peaceful and ancient Peel Forest (Tarahaoa). Perhaps the main reason why Julie and I found so much peace in this…

Emily Falls was another of the three main waterfalls that we knew were resident in the Peel Forest. This particular waterfall required a little bit more work to reach than Acland Falls, which we…

Ryde Falls was probably the closest waterfall to Christchurch that Julie and I encountered though even then it still required about a 90-minute drive from the South Island’s largest city. So it was…

Palaruvi Falls is one of those waterfalls that apparently have ayurvedic healing properties as apparently the stream meanders through some natural herbal groves further upstream…

The Kutralam Five Falls (or Coutrallam Five Falls) was one of the cluster of about nine waterfalls that Julie and I understood to be collectively known as the Courtallam Falls as they were all near…

Courtallam Main Falls (or Kutralam Main Falls) was perhaps what Julie and I thought to be the creme de la creme of the collective Courtallam Waterfalls. The waterfall itself was at least 30-40m…

Old Courtallam Falls offered us a much quieter experience compared to the other Courtallam Waterfalls. That was because we saw far fewer people here compared to the more mainstream waterfalls…

Athirappilly Falls is perhaps the most spectacular waterfall in Kerala (pronounced like Carol-uh) and was certainly one that my wife liked very much. We remember this 24m high falls most because…

Jog Falls is perhaps India’s most famous waterfall. It could’ve easily been the most spectacular waterfall in all of Asia as the massive Sharavathi River spills some 253m in almost total freefall…

Unchalli Falls (Lushington Falls) was perhaps one of India’s most spectacular waterfalls…we were certainly impressed with the waterfall’s practically unchecked flow, its rather unusual shape…

Magod Falls (pronounced “mah-GOHD”) was a relatively unknown waterfall (said to be 650ft). At least that was the impression we got considering all the signage to get here was completely in Hindi…

Sathodi Falls (pronounced “sat-HO-dee”; I’ve also seen it spelled Sattodi Falls) is a classically shaped rectangular 15m tall waterfall in the Kallaramarane Ghat near the town of Yellapur…

Dudhsagar Falls (pronounced “dood-SAH-gur”; a sign here also spelled it “Doodh Sagar”) is certainly one of India’s more popular waterfalls with foreigners given it’s within a 6- 7-hour day trip…
