The waterfalls

In the mountains of the western Ghats above several streams combine, swelling with the monsoon rains and plunging down the mountain slope at enormous speed, hitting the huge boulders hard and forcing through the crevices and ravines. A misty cloud hangs over the falls. From here the water flows into the the Kaveri River.[1] The Agasthiyamalai range of the Western Ghats The Western Ghats are a mountain range in India. ...

The waterfall is located between private coffee plantations with stocky coffee bushes and spice estates with trees entwined with pepper vines. The falls appear suddenly, the water cascading over rocks into calm pools.[2]


During the monsoon season the water flow is very high. During the dry seasons the flow is much diminished.


Transport

From Madikeri the falls are accessible by a narrow road to the coffee estate. A path through coffee and cardmmon plantations leads to the waterfalls. The falls can be heard roaring from the road. The best time to visit is early winter when the monsoons have brought plenty of water.[3]
