Sautada Waterfall

 Sautada Waterfall

Sautada Waterfall is a stunning natural attraction located in the Beed district of Maharashtra, near the village of Sautada in Patoda taluka. The waterfall is formed by the Vincharana River, which cascades from a height of approximately 70 meters (about 225 feet) into a deep valley, creating a spectacular sight especially during and after the monsoon season 

Key Highlights

Natural Beauty: The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery, dense forests, and rolling hills that are part of the Balaghat Hills extension of the Western Ghats. The area is home to diverse flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts 

Rameshwar Temple: Near the waterfall stands the ancient Rameshwar Temple, a Hemadpanthi-style shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to local folklore, the temple was established by Lord Rama and Sita during their exile. It's particularly popular during Maha Shivaratri when devotees gather in large numbers 

Best Time to Visit: The ideal time is during the monsoon season (June to September) when the waterfall is at its peak flow, or the post-monsoon months (October-November) when the landscape remains fresh and vibrant
