LOCATION AND HEIGHT OF THE FALL
Bhagsu waterfall is located in Bhagsunaag village, 2 kms from McLeodganj, behind the Bhagsu temple, in the district of Dharmasala, state of Himachal Pradesh. The waterfall is 7112 feet (2165 meters) in height.
HISTORY
The name of the waterfall has been derived from that of the vanquished King Bhagsu. The folklore that makes it round in the place is that about 5000 years ago, Nagdevta, the snake God declared a war against King Bhagsu who dared to steal the sacred water from Nagdal Lake. The king was defeated by Nagdevta and forgiven. At this site was built the sacred Bhagsunag temple which gives importance to the king and to the snake god and the waterfall got the name of Bhagsunag. The temple is revered by the Ghorkhali community.
HOW TO REACH THERE
Bhagsu waterfall is a spectacular sight especially because it needs a bit of hard trek to reach there. One needs to climb half a mountain with marked pathways. There is a marked path littered with beautiful stones that was actually a river which dried up during the dry season. There are no vehicle facilities to reach there. The town of Dharamshala is 2 kilometers from Bhagsu village and the temple is only 1 kilometer from Mc Leodganj. The distance from Pathankot to McLeod Ganj is 88 km and is a 3-hour journey to the valley of the waterfall .The nearest airport is Gaggal, which is 15 kilometers from Dharamshala. The nearest narrow gauge railway station is in Kangra and Nagrota, which is 20 kms. from Dharamsala. The nearest broad gauge station is at Pathankot, which is 85 kilometers away. Passengers can hire taxis or cabs from outside the railway station to reach the destination. There are a lot of buses and taxies that ply from these places to Bhagsu. Transport is next to impossible during the monsoon because of the hazards of landslides.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
March and April are dry seasons. The best time to visit the waterfall is immediately after the monsoons when water cascades down 30 feet. The place is always cool but becomes very cold during winter and hence not advisable. Monsoons are present from July to September and there are chances of landslides, making the roads impassable. October and November are pleasant with temperatures at 25О C in lower regions and can be -1О C in the night at higher altitudes. Autumn and spring are considered the most favorable season. March and April are great for the beautiful sights.
