Muktai Waterfall is a seasonal natural cascade located near the Doma village in the Chimur region of Maharashtra. The waterfall flows over a distinctively tiered rock face, creating a series of drops that intensify during the monsoon season. It is situated within the peripheral landscape of the Vidarbha region. The site features a rocky basin at the base of the primary falls. Access requires trekking through uneven terrain typical of the local dry-deciduous forest environment. The waterfall's volume is entirely dependent on rainfall, meaning its intensity varies significantly throughout the year.
