If you are visiting Lingmala waterfalls on a quiet day, then you can be alone with the beauty of nature all around you. It’s going to be just you and sound of flowing water and birds chirping. Of course, not all days are this quiet. Quite a large number of tourists visit this place from Mahabaleshwar. But there are quieter intervals too.
