Bandaje Arbi Falls

Reviewed By Vasuki0407 - Bengaluru, India

Bandaje Arbi falls is located in the charmadi forest range. It is around 300kms from Bangalore. We took a KSRTC bus to dharamastala visited the temple. Its around 30kms from dharmastala. One can get a jeep rise till ujire and then you can go by the auto rickshaw to the base of the hill. There is one person who can get you some food (basically idli sambar and some rice item) if order it in advance. Bandaje Arbi falls trek can be done in 2 ways, one ascend from ujire side and descend in the same direction after seeing the falls. We ascended from ujire side and camped near the falls and then next day we further moved and saw Ballarayanadyrga Fort and descended near Horanadu side (better option). We had the darshan of goddess Annapoorneshwari and headed back to Bangalore by bus. Carry lots of water and save some energy rich chocolates or bars. Don't forget to carry tent's, torches (2 per person recommend), Volini sprays and other required things. I don't remember paying any kind of entrance fee..but do carry identity cards.

Unchalli Falls

Reviewed By anils773 - Bengaluru, India

Superb waterfalls a real hidden gem. If you are able to google locate it, the effort will be worthwhile. The falls are magnificent. But the trek from the starting point till the first view point is 500mts with 300 steps. View is breathtaking. If you are fit enough you can traverse further down with another 300 steep steps to behold the fantastic natural beauty A must visit. Please be aware that there are no eating joints or watering holes or restrooms at this place. So be advised accordingly.

Its almost 1.5 to 2 hours ride from Gokarna main beach. Even the ride is enjoyable. Once you reach, You need to walk for 15 minutes to the falls. It was not much crowded when we visited. I insist everybody to go under the waterfall If you even know a bit of swimming. It was an amazing experience for us. Do carry some extra inners. (But I didn't)????

Koodlu Theertha Falls

Reviewed By ymanoj74 - Chengalpattu, India

Month of visit - December 2019 Open hours - 9am to 4pm Koodlu theertha falls is located near Hebri in Udupi district. The road leading upto the entry of the falls once you turn from the Hebri-Someshwara road is a bit confusing. Most of the path once you turn from the Hebri-Someshwara road is mostly unsurfaced & has very few sign boards. The check post at the entry to the falls is manned by the forest department & the entry is allowed only till 4pm. The path leading to the waterfalls is well defined & has a few concrete steps on the way. It is mostly an uphill trek on the way to the falls & it takes about half an hour at normal pace. The falls itself is pristine with clear water & an awesome scenery around. Be prepared for a few leeches though!!! It is a great place to visit for a weekend getaway.

Hebbe Falls

Reviewed By Mountaintrekkersam - Bengaluru, India

Pristine glory, thanks to the restrictions associated with a tiger reserve. Clean and green surroundings, no garbage. The ride on the jeep (only few recognised jeeps allowed) was quite an experience as the road is not surfaced. (purposely I think to avoid too many visitors) Not for weak at heart, mind or body. I am still nursing a bad neck as I rode in the rear of the jeep. This is one place which has remained unchanged even after 45 years. Highly recommend spending at least an hour (if the jeep driver obliges) sitting under the water. It was heavenly!

Mallalli Falls

Reviewed By sreekanthmohanan87 - Hyderabad, India

The falls are situated at a distance of 25 kilometres from Somwarpet.Mallalli falls - its orchestra of water, good location.The best time to visit the falls is the monsoon season as during this time the falls have plenty of water. Even the greenery around is at its best during this time. During summer season, the water of the fall almost dries down. Visiting during rainy season can be a good idea.

Sirimane Falls

Reviewed By chirakusuma

We visited In february 2020 and had a great experience. I dont think its open now.There is no KSRTC bus facility to reach Sirimane waterfalls, but there is a bus to Kigga which you can board from Sringeri and then you can walk 5 kms, but this is not quite opted. Hiring a private vehicle(4 wheeler,again 2 wheeler not suggested) from Sringeri for to and fro is the best option suggested by locals too as the road to watefalls is kind of deserted and not very smooth. Our hotel receptionist guided us in right way and after visiting Sringeri Sharadamba temple we headed to Sirimane waterfalls.water was not deep and was pretty safe for non-swimmers
