A few minutes later she realised that her bag was missing. Unfortunately, she had placed her cellphone, wallet and cards inside to prevent them from getting wet.
“My sisters and I looked for my bag everywhere but couldn’t find it. We asked everyone around but no one had seen it. I will have to block my all my cards now.
My main concern is that I have lost my cellphone. I just hope that some one finds and returns it,” said Das.u00a0

Every year I visit Pandavkada fall with my friends and it just keeps getting better. The place has an amazing view as nature is at its best here. It would be nice if the administration deploys a few guards here, making it safer

It is an adventure to climb till the waterfall with family. However, it’s a little risky. But then with every adventure, there is an element of risk, and in this case it is totally worth it. The kids loved it here

I brought my mother and my family here from Himachal. They loved it. However, it's really sad to see people smoking and drinking here and it feels like disrespecting mother nature. After coming to such a beautiful spot, it is very irresponsible on their part to indulge in such activities
