The picturesque Kailasakona Waterfalls near Nagari has become a major attraction this winter, with thousands of tourists flocking to the serene location to enjoy its cool breeze, lush greenery, and refreshing waters. As temperatures drop, the natural spring-fed waterfalls have become a preferred getaway for travelers from Chennai, Tirupati, Bengaluru, and nearby districts who are seeking a peaceful retreat from the bustle of city life. The scenic trekking routes surrounding the falls, along with their spiritual significance, have further contributed to the rise in footfall.
Tourism officials have noted a remarkable surge in weekend visitors, prompting the department to deploy additional staff for crowd control, safety monitoring, and maintaining cleanliness across the premises. Temporary barricades, signboards, and resting areas have also been set up to guide tourists along the trekking paths and ensure a safer experience for families and children.
Local vendors and small businesses around Kailasakona are benefiting from the increased traffic, with shops selling refreshments, handmade crafts, and local delicacies witnessing brisk sales. Many nearby villages have also begun offering homestay options to accommodate tourist demand, giving visitors a closer look at rural life in the region.
To further boost tourism, the department is planning to introduce eco-friendly cottages, guided nature walks, viewpoint platforms, and digital ticketing facilities in the coming months. These improvements aim to enhance comfort while preserving the natural environment of the area. Officials are also considering new waste management systems and water conservation measures to ensure sustainable tourism practices.
Travelers have praised the destination for its pristine environment, clear waters, and well-maintained surroundings, making Kailasakona one of Chittoor’s most sought-after winter attractions. With upcoming developments and continued government support, the waterfall is poised to become a major eco-tourism hotspot in the region.
