The Bhambavli Vajrai Waterfall is a waterfall located on the Urmodi river.[1] The waterfall is next to the Bhambavli village[2] and situated approximately 27 kilometers from the city of Satara (city), Maharashtra, and near Sahyadri hill.[3] The height of the Waterfall combining all three tiers is 560m,[4] and is the second highest plunge waterfall in India, after the Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya, with a drop of 335 m (1100 ft).[3]


A waterfall, defined by National Geographic, is a body of water that cascades down a cliff or rock face into a pool below. Waterfalls are formed through a process of erosion, and the waterfall itself is responsible for eroding the rocks and surfaces it flows down. Natural Disasters such as Volcanos and Earthquakes can help form waterfalls.
