About Katiki Waterfalls
Katiki Waterfalls is a seasonal waterfall located in the Ananthagiri Hills of Alluri Sitharama Raju district, Andhra Pradesh, near Borra Caves and Araku Valley. Fed by the Gosthani River, it drops approximately 50 feet through dense Eastern Ghats forest. Notable for its trekking approach and scenic forest setting, it is a popular day-trip destination from Visakhapatnam, with peak flow during monsoon and post-monsoon months.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a forested Eastern Ghats setting reached by a 1 to 1.5 km trek from the parking area over rocky, uneven terrain. The waterfall cascades about 50 feet into a shallow pool surrounded by dense greenery and boulders. The site is natural and undeveloped with basic stalls near the entry. Visitors can view the falls, photograph the landscape, wade or bathe at the base when water levels permit, and explore the surrounding forest trails.
