Kallathigiri Falls

About Kallathigiri Falls

Kallathigiri Falls is a waterfall set amid the forested hill country surrounding Chikmagalur, a region widely known for its coffee estates and misty Western Ghats scenery. Like many waterfalls in this part of Karnataka, it draws visitors seeking a break from the plantation landscape, with the surrounding greenery offering shade and a relatively cool atmosphere. The approach typically involves a short trek through woodland, rewarding those who make the effort with views of falling water against a rocky backdrop. It is most impressive during and shortly after the monsoon season, when water flow is at its strongest. Day-trippers from Chikmagalur town form the bulk of visitors, often combining a visit here with other natural and scenic spots scattered across the broader coffee-growing district.
