Ullur Abali Falls

Ullur Falls is a two-tiered Waterfalls with a height of about 150 feet. The trekking duration to the falls is about 45-60 minutes, if you have own vehicle else we have to walk extra 02 Kms and most part of the trekking involves stream walking and hence it's totally impossible to visit this falls during monsoon. The dangerous part of the trekking itself is climbing from second tier, which is about 50 feet to the first tier, which falls from a height of about 100 feet. One can easily play in the falls under both the tiers but playing under the first/top tier is the most memorable one. No forest permission is required to visit this falls.

This is the top tier of the Falls...

Nevelse Falls

Nevelse Falls is a single tiered waterfalls with a height of about 120 Feet. Trekking duration to this falls is about 45-60 minutes one-way from the last house/parking lot if you have a two-wheeler (Even cars may be difficult) else one has to walk for about 06-07 Kms, which can be quite tiresome and time consuming. Forest Permission is required to visit this falls as it's situated in a reserved forest. Trekking to this falls is quite difficult during monsoon as it involves stream walking/crossing and even the trekking trails through is forest is quite slippery. The place is inundated by some venomous snakes, so be careful! One can easily play/swim in the waterfalls quite easily.

Hosgodu Falls

Hosgod Falls is an 08 tiered waterfalls with a height of about 700 feet. The trekking duration from the last parking lot or last house is hardly 20-30 minutes if you have a two-wheeler else you have to walk for about 06-07 kms! While one can easily visit the falls even in monsoon, if you want to scale upto to the top of the falls one may find it bit difficult. While one can get a glimpse of the entire 08 tieres from the base of the falls itself, where one can also enjoy playing/swimming in waters, it's always thrilling and great if we can go to the top of any falls, which makes a visit to any falls even more memorable. Of all the 08 tieres, 03rd one was the best and the most stunning one. While people/villagers at the base of the falls call this waterfalls as Hosgod Falls, the people/villagers at the top of the falls call this as Medni Falls.

This is the beautiful third tier of the Falls....

Shirley Falls at Yellapura Taluk Uttara Kannada District

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...‌

Magod Falls, Yellapura Taluk, Uttara Kannada District

There are quite a few places in Karnataka which we people having been here have to visit them once... Of course Magod Falls is one of them owing to it's lush green surroundings, misty mountains and the gorgeous falls of River Bedthi from a height of 651 Ft creating a sort heaven...
Thus it rightly deserves a place in the book '1001 Natural Wonders of the World You Must Visit Before You Die' compiled by UNESCO in association with UNO and edited by Mark Bright...

The best time to experience this heavenly place is during the month of September and October when the water is full and the surrounding lush green mountains are filled with mist... A heavenly sight indeed!!!

There are totally 03 view points, soon after you enter the gate, second which can approached by a flight of 100 steps and the 03rd one, bit dangerous though near the watch tower through the bushes by standing right on the tip of a small rock from where you can have a closer look at the Falls... It's from the second point by jumping the fence, one can experience the heavenly view of surrounding lush green misty mountains and a Waterfalls far away...
