Devakar Waterfalls is situated on a small island called Devakar which is surrounded by the Kadra Dam backwaters. The height of the waterfalls is about 300 feet and the water of the falls reaches Kaiga reservoir. While falling, it glows like a Diamond (Vajra), so locally this falls is called Vajramala falls. This waterfall is originated from the Bare stream. Due to the lack of publicity, this beautiful fall is still unknown to a lot of people.

There is a bus that runs from Kadra to Devkar Bus Stop, from there one has to cross the backwaters of Kadra Dam by boat. The 5 km trek from Devkar village to Devkar falls is moderate to difficult. The path runs through muddy tracks covered by thick forests.
