Kakolat Falls (also rendered Kakolat Waterfall) is a natural waterfall located on Kakolat Hill in Nawada district, Bihar, near the Bihar–Jharkhand border according to several travel and district sources. Travel guides and tourism pages describe the falls' scenic character and note its height (commonly given as about 160 feet / 49 meters). Tripatlas and other travel sources describe the site as having historical and mythological associations, and local and state tourism materials list it among places of interest in Bihar. A 2018 news item notes Bihar government interest in beautification and promotion of Kakolat as a tourist site, and local civic initiatives have worked on its betterment. The research notes and cited travel/wikipedia sources repeatedly identify Kakolat as a scenic and touristic natural site and reference its folkloric/mythological standing in broad terms, but the provided excerpts do not contain detailed first‑hand paranormal reports, named supernatural entities, eyewitness accounts, dates, or specific phenomena. Mentions in some traditions of a 'cursed king' or 'haunted waters' appear in broader folklore about the falls in other contexts, but such elements are not quoted or documented in the supplied source excerpts and are therefore treated as unsubstantiated in this dossier.
