5 Waterfalls Near Delhi You Can Reach Within 1 Hour

When the scorching summers of Delhi come, or when digital exhaustion overtakes us, there is an intense need to run away to a cascading mountain waterfall. However, a conventional tour of legendary destinations such as Kempty Falls at Mussoorie or Neer Garh in Rishikesh requires an exhausting drive of 6 to 8 hours across various state borders, which is entirely impractical for any short getaway or impromptu visit.

Although the largely flat region of the NCR doesn’t have large, naturally formed glacial waterfalls, one needn’t remain confined within cool and air-conditioned spaces. Within a convenient drive of 30 to 60 minutes from the heart of Delhi, there exist beautiful artificial waterfalls and resorts, lakes, and water parks where you will get all the needed refreshment and exhilaration without being exhausted by travel. Below are five water locations close to Delhi within an hour's drive from the heart of the city.
