Chadwick Falls is located in the Glen Forests of the beautiful city of Shimla. This stream of water trickles from a height of about 100 metres. Some explorers recall a walk through the forest as an adventurous experience because of the damp and dark environment created by the thick canopying forest.
The name Chadwick is derived from 'Chidku Jhaar' where 'Chidku' means sparrow and 'Jhaar' means waterfall in the local language. It was named so because the locals thought only sparrows could reach the top of the waterfall and not humans. The Britishers found it difficult to pronounce this name and hence started calling the waterfall Chadwick.
No matter what the origin of the name is, this beautiful location is a stone's throw away from the city and must be visited by everyone exploring Shimla.
Note : 1. Tourists need to ensure they head back before sundown as the waterfall is a primary source of drinking water for the wildlife. Leopards are frequently spotted in the forest after dark.
2. It is advisable that tourists explore the waterfall in groups.
3. There are no eateries around. Picnickers may want to carry snacks and beverages along.
