Geography & terrain
Kuntala Falls lie on the Kuntala river in the Nirmal district of Telangana, 270 km from Hyderabad and 5 km from the Maharashtra border — the tallest waterfall of the state, its 45 m drop, the pools and the border views set on the Satmala hills' edge.
History & culture
The falls' story runs with the region's river legend — the waterfall of the Godavari's tributary on the state's northern border, with the falls' modern role as the weekend stop of the Telangana–Maharashtra circuit and the monsoon's rush point; the falls' history of the border life and the river's cut, gives Kuntala its border-falls character.
