Chadwick Falls , Shimla Overview
Chadwick Falls is a 100-metre waterfall in Glen Forest, reached via a walk through dense forest. It's popular with picnickers and is at its best during the monsoon months, June to September, when the water flow is strongest.
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.

2. It is advisable that tourists explore the waterfall in groups.
