Karnataka: Abbey Falls Visit

  • Karnataka
  • • Sightseeing
  • • Duration 3 hour

Description

Nestled amidst lush coffee plantations and spice estates near Madikeri, Abbey Falls is one of Coorg's most famous natural attractions. Cascading from a height of approximately 70 feet (21 meters), the waterfall creates a spectacular sight as it plunges into a rocky pool surrounded by dense greenery.

The journey to the falls is equally rewarding, with a scenic pathway winding through coffee plantations, pepper vines, and tropical vegetation. Visitors can enjoy the refreshing atmosphere, the sound of rushing water, and panoramic views from a hanging bridge positioned directly opposite the waterfall.
