Kalhattigiri Hilltop Falls

About Kalhattigiri Hilltop Falls

Kalhattigiri Hilltop Falls is a waterfall set among the forested hillsides near Chikmagalur, a district well known for its coffee estates and cool, mist-laden climate. Visitors typically make their way here along rural tracks, passing through dense woodland before reaching the cascade. The falls are at their most impressive during and shortly after the monsoon season, when rainfall is heaviest in this part of Karnataka. The surrounding landscape offers pleasant walking and a chance to observe the region's characteristic vegetation. As with many such spots in the Western Ghats foothills, the site draws both local visitors and travellers passing through Chikmagalur who wish to explore the natural scenery beyond the coffee country for which the area is primarily celebrated.
