Kempty Falls is one of the top attractions in Mussoorie, a 40-metre, five-tiered cascade located 15 kilometers from town on the road to Yamunotri. The shallow pool at the base makes it ideal for families, while a ropeway carries visitors across the gorge for a different perspective, adding to the list of things to do in Mussoorie. Though it can feel busy and commercialized, with food stalls and photo kiosks all around, sightseeing here is still rewarding, as the sheer volume of water, especially after the monsoon is genuinely spectacular.

What makes this place special

The 40-metre drop is most dramatic immediately after the monsoon, when the falls split into multiple channels and throw spray across the gorge, making it a standout highlight in any Mussoorie travel guide.

A shallow, rock-lined pool where families wade during summer, making it one of the more relaxed things to do in Mussoorie. While lifeguards keep watch, currents can turn strong after rain, so caution is advised during Mussoorie sightseeing.

A short cable car spans the valley opposite the falls, offering a side-on view of the cascade from mid-air making it a memorable part of Mussoorie sightseeing.
