SHIRLEY FALLS is created by a stream that flows in an arecanut plantation of a house located in a village called Shirley...
It is one of the lesser known falls as no sign board can be found anywhere about this falls like you find for Magod or Sathodi Falls except near the village of Shirley itself...
While you are travelling on Yellapura - Ankola Highway (NH 63) after Idagundi, travel further 03-04 Kms and you'll find Shirley Bus Stop on left side which is in a typical Malnad side... You'll also find a mud road and a sign board besides this bus shelter. Park your vehicle there and walk for about 03 Kms in that mud road. You'll also get confusing junctions twice, but just keep on walking straight without taking any deviations from the main mud road. At the end you'll find a house on right side. And the Falls is located in their plantation itself. It's just a 05 minutes downhill walk from this house through their plantation...
The walk to Shirley Falls is a fantabulous and a soothing experience as it involves walking/trekking through thick and evergreen forests of Yellapura...
Please note: Vehicles are not allowed to go in this mud road during monsoon seasons that is from June to September else you'll be fined
Rs. 5000/-!!! Vehicles are allowed only after the month of September.
This Falls is completely safe for bathing...
