A lively seasonal waterfall near McLeod Ganj, popular for short hikes, café hopping, and monsoon views.

Bhagsu Nag Waterfall is one of the most accessible natural attractions around McLeod Ganj, located close to the old Bhagsunag Temple. The waterfall cascades down rocky steps rather than a single drop, giving it a raw, rugged look. During monsoon months, the flow becomes powerful and dramatic, while in winter and summer it turns gentler but still scenic.

The area around the waterfall has evolved into a backpacker-friendly zone with cafés, guesthouses, and informal sitting spots overlooking the stream. It’s a common hangout for travelers, photographers, and people just looking to relax with mountain views. The trail beyond the main waterfall leads towards Shiva Café and further uphill paths that feel quieter and more forested.

While the waterfall itself isn’t massive, its charm lies in how effortlessly it blends nature, spirituality, and traveler culture. It’s best experienced early morning or late evening to avoid crowds, especially in peak season.
