Why it matters
Why Siddhnath ki Dari is worth your time
Siddhnath ki Dari is the kind of place that explains why people who live near Mirzapur still talk about the monsoon: water, forest and rock, a short distance from the Ganga plain. Wikipedia's district article lists it among the district's waterfalls, and the Commons photographs of it show a full, white curtain of water in the rains.
It is, however, one of the less developed sights around the town. There are few facilities and information is thin, which will suit some travellers and put off others. Treat it as an adventurous add-on for a second day, and be honest with yourself about stamina and the season. In dry months it is much less rewarding.
Highlights
What not to miss
- 01
The forest approach
The walk in is part of the experience, through dense woodland that is at its greenest in the monsoon.
- 02
The monsoon fall
Travel accounts describe a fall of around 100 feet that is at its best in the rainy season.
- 03
Quiet surroundings
With few facilities and fewer crowds than Wyndham Fall, it feels more remote.

How to experience it
Siddhnath ki Dari is a waterfall in Mirzapur district, and the first thing to know is that published distances disagree: travel sources give it as roughly 14 to 20 km from Mirzapur, so ask a local driver to confirm the exact route before you commit to the journey. Hire a taxi for the day and agree a return time.
One travel account describes a waterfall of around 100 feet, best in the monsoon, reached by a walk through dense forest. That means a physical outing on uneven ground, and it is most rewarding for people who like a bit of a trek. Go in a group, start in the morning and keep to the path.
Carry your own water and food, since there is nothing to buy on the way, and wear shoes with proper grip. Do not bathe in the pools, and turn back if rain starts or the path becomes slick. If anyone in your party has difficulty walking, spend your waterfall time at Wyndham Fall or Tanda Fall instead, both of which are easier to reach.
