The trail includes four to five waterfalls, such as Ruposhi Waterfall and Chagolkanda-1 Waterfall, along with several smaller cascades along its course.[1][2]

A railway line intersects the path, and an entry ticket is required for access.

The first waterfall on the trail is Ruposhi Waterfall, named by locals for its scenic appearance.[6] It is estimated to be approximately 120 to 140 feet in height.[7] After ascending the initial section, hikers encounter a vertical rock about 10 feet high.[8] Climbing this leads to a point where the trail splits into a Y-shape.[9]

Taking the right fork of the Y-shaped path leads to Pathorbhanga Waterfall, which is followed upstream by several smaller cascades. Following the left fork, the trail divides again into another Y-formation. The right path from this second junction leads to Chagolkanda-2 Waterfall, while the left path leads to Rihuichhori Waterfall.[10]

Returning to the earlier Y-junction and taking the left path leads to Chagolkanda-1 Waterfall, which features a vertical drop of approximately 50 feet.[3][11][12]
