Chamarel Waterfall: A Journey to Nature’s Oasis

Ever dreamed of hiking to a breathtaking waterfall pool? Chamarel Waterfall, fueled by three streams flowing into the Saint Denis River, is at its most spectacular between December and April. Our advice? Lace up your hiking boots and embark on a three-hour trek to the base of the falls. The reward? A refreshing swim in the pool and the exhilarating experience of feeling the waterfall’s spray up close.

For a richer experience, consider hiring an expert guide to lead you through the lush tropical rainforest, sharing insights about the local birdlife, waterfalls, and the geology of the area along the way.

As you approach, you’ll witness the twin waterfalls cascading over a basalt cliff, plunging around 100 meters into the oval pool below. While the mesmerizing water steals the show, don’t miss the volcanic rock layers—they’re a fascinating remnant of the island’s formation, dating back 8-10 million years!
