KATIKI / KATIKA WATERFALLS
Katika, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India
The name of the falls is derived from the name of the village nearby. Katiki Waterfall is formed by the Gosthani River and it cascading down from a height of 100+ feet. The pond at the bottom of the Waterfall is an excellent place for taking a bath after a tough trek to the place. It has to be reached by 20-30 minutes trek (one way) through lush forest and upwards to mountain top from the nearest motorable road. Cooking and camping are also permitted at this place. This is also a good place for trekking.
