If you’re ever in the mood to view some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world then you’ll want to take a trip to Karnataka. Take a look at a few of these falls below.
Abbey Falls
It looks magnificent with waters cascading down from scintillating heights. Even during the summers, there is plenty of water in these falls. The roar of the falls can be heard from the main road, from where a path goes through lovely coffee and cardamom plantations right up to them. The chirping of innumerable birds, which are easier to hear than to see, fills the air with sweet music. Do remember to take your binoculars and camera when you go there.
Gokak Falls
It was created by Ghataprabha River that takes a 170-ft leap here over a sandstone cliff. The cliff is in a picturesque gorge of the Gokak valley and is in the shape of a horseshoe. The rugged valley and the picturesque gorge inspire poetry. The dull roar of the falls can be heard from a distance. The general features such as the height; rapidity and the shape of the falls are very similar to that of the Niagara Falls except width and color of the falls.
Kalhatti Falls
The water cascades down from a height of 122 meters. All around are fascinating scenic delights. There is also a local temple here constructed in a gap between rocks. A ‘jatra’ is held here for three days every year and attracts pilgrims from far and near.
Jog Falls
