Nestled within the Glen Forests, Chadwick
Waterfall is one of the most delightful
sights that nature has bestowed upon
Shimla. The waterfall makes a dive from a
height of 86 meters and cascades down a
huge gorge. Surrounded by a blanket of
greenery formed by the deodar and pine
trees, it presents an enticing sight. The best time to visit it is during monsoons (from June to September) when the water level increases and Chadwick seems to take on a life of its own. If you are not daunted by the idea of taking a dip in the cold waters, you can go ahead and splash around.
