Keoti Falls (Rewa) season by season

Winter December to February Shoulder

Dec-Feb the flow thins to a white ribbon, but the gorge is cool and clear and you can scramble down towards the plunge pool.

Summer March to May Mixed, read the detail

March already leaves the Mahana a trickle, and Apr-May the plateau hits 46 C with no shade at the viewpoint, so leave it alone.

Monsoon June to September Prime time

Jul-Aug it roars, but the approach lane is mud and the unfenced edge is dangerous in spray; September is the sensible pick.

Autumn October to November Prime time

Oct-Nov is the best of it: full water, dry rock and clean air, with Chachai 16 km on and Purwa falls in the same taxi day.

What Keoti Falls (Rewa) is actually like

Rewa town has plain hotels and dhabas; at the falls it is picnic families on Sundays and bare rock the rest of the week.
