Before going further, let me clear out a common confusion of many tourists. The puzzle of Gira vs Girmal. 

Both are different.
Gira Falls or Gira Dhodh is the one near Waghai. Girmal or Girimala is the one near Subir, Ahwa. The former one, Gira can be easily reached while Girmal is located quite deeper.

Back to Girmal:

Location: 50 km from Ahwa, 20 km from Subir

Water Flow: July – December

Accessibility: Hard

Tourist Rush: Low

Food: Tea, Snacks – During Season

Reaching to the Bottom: Possible (Very dangerous in the monsoon)

Driving Directions:
From Ahwa
Arrive at Subir village from Ahwa (30 km);
Go straight and arrive at Nishana check-post (12 km);
Take a left turn and Arrive at village Girmal (8 km);
Take a left turn and arrive at Girmal waterfalls (2 km).
Road from check-post to fall is single lane with rough patches. Otherwise drivable.

Touted as the tallest waterfall of Gujarat, deep inside the wild forests of Dang, Girmal stands tall spawning tiny water particles infinitely. Silver fog and 7 colored rainbows are often seen through. Forest department has built spectacular view points and pathways. Safety railing is roped to prevent accidents. Steps are carved as well to reach near Girmal.

On the way to Girmal, at some point, the river Gira takes a complete U-turn. Forest department has developed a beautiful viewpoint exactly above the U-turn.

Eco-Development Committee of the department also runs a restaurant named ‘U-turn restaurant’. Tasty food, do try it.

A full day is needed for this destination. You will cherish the memories of this adventure forever, I assure you.

Shankar waterfall has recently gained eyeballs of tourists. It was unknown to most people a couple of years back.  Unlike Gira or Girmal, this fall doesn’t unleash gallons of waters to the bottom, instead a thin stream of water showers the earth.

Fortunately, that’s why one can trek to the bottom and take a shower!
