Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is the ultimate destination for honeymooners. Millions of tourist throng Niagara Falls each year. It is at the international border of America and Canada; enhancing tourism in both countries, besides a rich source of fresh water.Niagara falls comprise of American Fall and Bridal Veil Fall on the American front.The more spectacular, the Horse Shoe Fall is on the Canadian side. Approximately six lakhs gallons of water flowing per sec.No doubt this country is God gifted, it has wealth of natural resources.

American Falls do not have great height but are wide in nature. A boat ride called ‘maid of the mist’ ferries you close to all the three falls. One can feel the misty water drizzling on face, as rest of the body is covered with signature blue Niagara raincoats. It is such an awe inspiring view, water-water everywhere, the huge amount of water eyes will not meet again.

A closer look!!
A short trek route, approaching to almost top of falls

A balloon ride, for hovering over the falls, to catch an aerial glimpse

The gushing rapids transform into falls ahead. Falls are not only majestic but a good source of hydroelectric power too.
