Shanti Falls, Chikmagalur – A Spectacular View

May 13, 2014 by madur

Shanti Falls is a refreshing sight that awaits visitors on their trek to Z Point in the lush green forest stretch of Kemmenagundi. The waterfall is located at a distance of around 55 km from the town of Chikmagalur in Karnataka. The beauty of the falls attracts visitors and trekkers alike who often treat the place as a stopover before resuming their journey towards Z-Point that is situated about 2 km from the waterfall.

The beauty of Shanti Falls

Nestled in the green surroundings of Chikmagalur district the Shanti Falls is a natural wonder. The water flows from the top of a hill and reaches down to the valley below. The cascading waterfall forms a stunning view against the backdrop of luxurious green cover. Even the road leading to the waterfall winds through deep valleys on one side and woody hills on the other side. The waterfall cascades down to create a natural pool that is believed to have remarkable medicinal qualities.

The most interesting fact about this waterfall is that its water remains extremely cold even during the hot summer months. As such, visitors make it a point to enjoy a swim in the cool waters of the Shanti Falls.
