At a distance of 30 km from Eturnagaram, 89 km from Ramappa Temple, 120 km from Bhadrachalam, and 140 km from Warangal, Bogatha Waterfall is a nice waterfall situated near Chikupally village in Wajedu Mandal in Khammam district of Telangana. Also known as Chikupally Falls, this is one of the popular tourist places to visit near Hyderabad, and among the best waterfalls in Telangana.

Situated in a forest region between Kaleswaram and Bhadrachalam, Bogatha Falls is formed on Chikupally Vagu that merges with River Godavari.

Dropping from a height of over 30 feet in several parallel streams, the water is collected into a large pool at the bottom of the falls. Swimming in the pool is a favorite activity here and swimming here is considered safe.
