The story

Kothapally Waterfalls is a waterfall at Gangaraju Madugula, close to Paderu in Andhra Pradesh, not far from India's south-eastern coast. The mandals around it are Chintapalle to the south, Paderu to the east and Venus Bayalu to the north.

The falls came to wider notice only recently, after a boy from a nearby village, Vanthala Abbi, came across them. There are still no public facilities of any kind at the site, yet it has become a tourist draw in the Visakhapatnam area, so visitors should expect an undeveloped spot rather than a managed park.
