bats. We moved on to vibhuti falls.
Vibhuti falls: The bus took us to the place we walked for some time. We saw the waterfalls it was milk white when it has a fall. We swam really close to the falls you kept on slipping on the rocky floor below. The water was freezing cold we changed and headed for no man’s land.
