The water temperature remains consistently cold throughout the year due to the snow-melt origins from the Dhauladhar mountains.
Bangoru Waterfall is a secluded natural cascade located near the village of Gunehr in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. The waterfall is reached via a moderate trek through pine forests and rocky terrain. It features a tiered drop that empties into a rocky pool at its base. The site is situated at an elevation that keeps the surrounding temperature cooler than the lower valley floors. The water source originates from the higher reaches of the Dhauladhar range. The path to the waterfall passes through terraced agricultural fields characteristic of the local landscape. It serves as a popular destination for hikers traveling between Bir and Billing.
The elevated rock ledge overlooking the base pool provides the most comprehensive angle of the entire cascade.
