A 'reverse' waterfall that left people stunned
Jog falls isn't the only gift of nature to mankind. There is a 'reverse' waterfall that is absolutely beautiful. The video of this waterfall was shared recently by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda.
He captioned the video, "When the magnitude of wind speed is equal & opposite to the force of gravity. The waterfall at its best during that stage in Naneghat of the western ghats range. The beauty of Monsoons."

The video shows water gushing from the waterfall - you will be surprised to witness the water not streaming down but evaporating and forming clouds. When the wind speed magnitude is equal and opposite to the force of gravity, this phenomenon occurs.
Nature is absolutely wondrous.
