Jhari Falls

About Jhari Falls

Jhari Falls is a natural waterfall set within the forested highlands near Chikmagalur, a district known across Karnataka for its sprawling coffee estates and misty hills. Visitors typically make their way here along rural tracks, arriving to find a seasonal cascade that flows most reliably during and shortly after the monsoon months. The surrounding woodland offers a quiet, unhurried atmosphere suited to those who prefer modest, off-the-beaten-path excursions over more developed tourist sites. The falls are generally reached as a half-day trip from Chikmagalur town, often combined with a broader exploration of the region's plantation landscape and hill scenery. Facilities on site are minimal, so visitors are advised to carry provisions and wear appropriate footwear for uneven terrain.
