Kakolat Falls
Kakolat is situated on a beautiful hill named Kakolat Hill. Although every inch of Kakolat
Hill offers a panoramic view of the beauty of nature, the sweet springs of Kakolat are true bliss.
Kakolat is located some 30 km from the city of Nawada. It is an increasingly popular tourist
attraction in Bihar, and many people visit this unique spot for summer time weekend picnics.
The water here falls from 150 to 160 feet height. It is surrounded by lush green forests, which add to its beauty.
Legend has it that a Treta Yug king was cursed by a Hindu seer to take the shape of a
python and live at the falls here. The place was visited by the Pandavas during their exile. It was
during that time that the python king got rid of the curse, and he proclaimed that any person
who bathed in the waterfall would never be reborn as a snake.
