Kempty Falls were developed as a tourist destination by [[United Kingdom|British]] officer John Mekinan, around 1835. The name Kempty is probably derived from the word 'camp-tea'. A stream of water running throughout the year starting from the southwest of the village of Banglow ki kandi moves northwest and falls from 4,500&nbsp;ft. Splitting into five other cascades, the water falls a further 40&nbsp;feet.<br />
