After days of nonstop rain, water is now streaming from the hills of the natural waterfalls close to Raikal. people from the nearby communities are racing to the location as soon as they hear about this to catch a sight of the waterfall.

The scenic waterfall lies about 42 kilometres from the district's administrative centre, close to the village of Raikal in the Saidapur mandal. The Jendagutta hillocks, which are roughly 200 metres high, send water rolling down. There are three more little waterfalls above Jendagutta. The major water source for the waterfalls is the Kotagiriguttalu group of roughly 30 hillocks. Water starts to pour from the hillocks as soon as the rainy season begins and lasts for almost three months.

Tourists are eager to visit the waterfalls and take in the mood by getting wet under the waterfalls despite the three kilometres of inadequate connectivity between Raikal village and the waterfall. Visitors are arriving from places like Siddipet, Huzurabad, Warangal, and Karimnagar. It's not simply the waterfall that draws visitors, as the three km trip makes for quite a hiking experience.

In october 2017, former collector Sarfaraz ahmed and commissioner VB Kamalasan reddy hiked to waterfalls. With the assistance of the Forest and Tourism ministries, the collector promised to take action to develop the area by building a road from Raikal village to the waterfalls, trails to hike to the hillocks and other facilities. None of them, however, have occurred to date.

Gramme panchayat authorities had developed an estimate for a three kilometre CC road with six feet width including a culvert based on directions from district officials. Rs 2.5 crore was the projected price. The department of tourism has also made suggestions for building the approach road and adding other amenities.
