There are actually three falls at Kanakai. First is a small one where water flows through rocky formations forming small but wide waterfall with an average height of 10 feet, second one is the main falls (Bandrev waterfall) about 1 km from the first one where water cascades down into a big pool from a height of about 30 feet with a width of about 100 feet.. This is the place where a stream is merged into the Kadem river. Third one is called Cheekati Gundam which is few hundred meters away from the second one. It is similar to the first one with dense forest and dark surroundings. The whole area is covered with thick vegetation and sharp rock formations.
