Most people think of Andaman for the beaches, reefs, and sunsets. Step into the forest, though, and you’ll find something different: the waterfalls in Andaman. White Surf on Little Andaman thunders loud enough to be heard before you see it. In Diglipur or Chidiya Tapu, the streams are smaller, sometimes only flowing in the rains, but the walks to them are shaded and cool. These spots are not like the tall mainland falls; they’re smaller, tucked away, and often need a short trek or a local to guide you in. The water is clear, the air heavy with damp earth, and the forest feels alive.
10 Best Waterfalls In Andaman
The waterfalls in Andaman are tucked deep within rainforests, offering cool pools and short jungle treks. From White Surf to Whisper Wave, each cascade adds a refreshing break from the beaches.

White Surf Waterfall is the best-known cascade in the Andaman Islands and the pride of Little Andaman. The waterfall changed shape after the 2004 tsunami, and today it splits into two main streams that fall across the rocks into a shallow pool. The water stays cool through the hotter months, so it is a popular stop for a quick dip. Monkeys move through the canopy above, while the surrounding forest is filled with the sound of birds. Many locals suggest coming in the morning, when the light filters down through the trees and gives a soft glow to the water as it runs between walls of green.

2. Whisper Wave Waterfall

Whisper Wave Waterfall is among the most striking places on Little Andaman, hidden inside an evergreen forest. To reach it, visitors take a jeep along rough tracks and then walk 4 km through thick growth, with the sound of rushing water often reaching the ears before the first view. There are two tiers to the fall. The upper side leads into a calm pool, while the lower stream is forceful and ends in a creek known for the occasional crocodile. The area is covered in dense greenery, giving it a remote and untouched feel. In the dry season, the pool is calm enough for bathing, while during the monsoon, the water turns loud and forceful.

3. Krishna Nallah Waterfall

Krishna Nallah Waterfall is a lesser-known cascade close to Ram Krishna Pur village on Little Andaman, giving visitors a quieter option compared to the island’s well-known falls. To reach it, most people travel by scooter or jeep to the edge of the village and then walk 20–30 minutes along a forest trail, with the sound of running water getting clearer as they go. The fall is seasonal, rushing strongly just after the rains and slowing in the dry months, but even with less water, it remains a cool place to stop under the trees. At the base, a small pool forms naturally, where travellers often cool off after the walk.

Wimberley Gunj Waterfall is a quiet retreat set in the forests of South Andaman, close to Bamboo Flat and about 30 km from Port Blair. The path to it begins with a short walk that includes two shallow stream crossings, making the approach part of the fun. The fall is smaller than the cascades of Little Andaman, but it drops into a clear rock basin where people rest in full shade. Around it, the forest is alive with birds and butterflies, and the calm atmosphere makes it a good day trip from the capital. In the rainy season, the water grows into a stronger flow, while in drier months it becomes lighter yet still pleasant.

5. Panchavati Waterfalls

Panchavati Waterfalls ranks as one of the most striking natural spots in the Middle Andaman. The water moves across a rocky staircase of dark stone, forming a series of smaller pools before joining a stream that runs through the countryside. Getting there is simple, with a short ride along a village road followed by a 20–30 minute forest walk that opens to the cascades. The area is lined with coconut trees and heavy greenery, offering shaded corners and clearings where many stop to take photos or share a picnic. When the monsoon comes, the flow surges, and the cascades become a roaring sight that brings in locals along with visitors.

Chidiya Tapu, known for its sunsets and thick forests, also hides a few small seasonal waterfalls that show up along the Munda Pahad trail during and just after the rains. These falls are not large but make a refreshing stop for trekkers on the way to the cliff point above the Bay of Bengal. The path begins at the Chidiya Tapu parking area and winds into a forest filled with birds, butterflies, and tall trees. In the wetter months, streams cut across the track, and one of them forms a gentle fall that runs over mossy rocks into shallow pools.

7. Tirur Waterfall

Tirur Waterfall is a hidden spot in South Andaman that most locals know, lying inside village forests near Ferrargunj. The fall is small but eye-catching, especially after the monsoon when rainwater rushes over rocky steps into a natural pool. To reach it, travellers drive from Port Blair toward Tirur village and then walk a short, rough track through the jungle. The path is unmarked and not often used, so going with a local guide is the safest option. Trees hang over the pool beneath the fall, making it a shaded place to sit, dip your feet, or enjoy the quiet far from busy tourist sites.

8. Kalpong River Cascades

The Kalpong River, the only major river in the Andaman Islands, gives rise to several small but striking cascades in the Diglipur area. These falls are not tall like mainland waterfalls, but they win visitors over with their steady flow, mossy rocks, and the sense of being in an untouched forest. To find them, travellers often ask locals in Diglipur, since the paths are unmarked and shift with the season. The site lies near Saddle Peak National Park, so the walk takes you under dense rainforest cover, with bird calls and the sound of running water along the way.

9. Lamiya Bay Seasonal Waterfall

Lamiya Bay, known for its dark pebble beach and closeness to Saddle Peak, hides a seasonal waterfall that shows up during and after the rains. The fall is not tall, but its appeal comes from the way it breaks suddenly through the dense green, spilling fresh water across mossy rocks before splitting into small streams that run toward the shore. People usually find it by walking short paths leading off the beach, which makes it a convenient addition to a trip along the northern shoreline of Diglipur. It feels peaceful here, the sound of waves rolling in from the shore mixing with the shade of the forest overhead.

10. Ramnagar Beach Seasonal Waterfall

Ramnagar Beach in Diglipur is better known for turtle nesting, but during the rainy season, it also hides a small seasonal waterfall that flows down from the nearby forested hills. Unlike the inland cascades, this fall feels unique because of its proximity to the coast, where fresh water meets the sea in a setting framed by thick greenery and stretches of golden sand. To reach it, visitors usually take a short walk along the beachside trails, which also lead to quieter coves. Though not large, the fall gives travellers a welcome pause when exploring the northern shores of the Andamans.

Exploring the waterfalls in Andaman adds a refreshing twist to island travel. From Little Andaman’s famous falls to hidden gems in Diglipur and South Andaman, each one brings jungle trails, cool pools, and a quiet rhythm. Some need a trek, others appear by the roadside. They’re more than side trips—they’re part of the experience. With TripXL, you discover them naturally, moving with the islands instead of rushing through them.
