Manikyadhara Falls

About Manikyadhara Falls

Manikyadhara Falls is a natural waterfall set amid the forested hills of the Chikmagalur region, an area widely known for its coffee estates and cool, misty climate. Visitors typically make their way here along forest paths, rewarded with the sight and sound of water tumbling over rocky outcrops into a pool below. The surrounding greenery, characteristic of the Western Ghats, makes the journey itself part of the appeal. The falls draw a mix of day-trippers from Chikmagalur town and travellers passing through the broader hill country. It is the sort of quiet, unhurried spot suited to those who appreciate natural scenery rather than organised attractions, and is best visited during or shortly after the monsoon season when the flow is at its fullest.
