Trail Fast Facts
Bangalore Falls walking track is a 1km, grade 3 hike in Bindarri National Park, New South Wales. This hike typically takes 45 minutes to complete.
Hike Overview
Bangalore Falls is a must-see destination within Bindarri National Park. These spectacular waterfalls are easily accessible, yet in a beautiful, remote location.
It's an easy 500m walk from the car park, and the views are outstanding all year round. Admire the views of the cascading waters and snatch glances into the Bangalore Gorge from the lookout.
Wander back to the picnic area along the easy walking track. This short walk takes you past awe-inspiring grand trees that escaped the former logging activities in the park.
Relax and enjoy a peaceful picnic under the trees, with the sound of the waterfalls in the distance. Look out for lyrebirds and, if you're a keen birdwatcher, you might recognise the distinctive 'wom-poo' call of the wompoo fruit-dove.
