Location: Koyaveerapuram G, Wazeed Mandal, Mulugu district, Telangana, India.
Bogatha Waterfall is the second highest waterfall in Telangana. Situated in a dense forest between Kaleswaram and Bhadrachalam, it is formed by the Chikupally Vagu stream which merges with the Godavari River. The waterfall drops over 30 feet in multiple parallel streams into a large natural pool, making it ideal for safe swimming and picnics.
Nearby, there is a temple dedicated to Bogateswara Swamy, and the upper part of the falls can be accessed from here. Since motorable roads are limited, visitors must trek part of the distance, offering opportunities for adventure and forest exploration.
