Why go

The Shdugra route starts in Mazeri and runs through fields and forest to the base of the waterfall. It is a separate hike from Chalaadi Glacier and Koruldi Lakes.

A river crossing and strong spray can make the route demanding. Ask about conditions in Mazeri and turn back if the water is unsafe.

Allow3 hr–5 hr · out-and-back hike; transfer to Mazeri is extra
