If you go now, pack a light picnic to keep the kids fed while they splash. The falls are safer in the early morning when the water is lower. Afterward, a short walk back to Hotel Akanksha lets the kids cool off in the indoor pool, and the garden play zone is a good backup if they get tired.

If you’re aiming for a tight loop, try arriving around 5 pm to catch the early dusk glow on the ghats. A 15 minute boat hop from the main quay will give you a clear view of the temples before the lights switch on. After you return, a five minute walk takes you to the Brahma Temple, and then a ten minute stroll to Jwalamalini lets you see its lantern display before heading back. The pavilion near the main ghat offers a free spot to sit and watch the evening prayers.
