Water Falls in Karnataka

Karnataka is a beautiful state known for its natural beauty. From aromatic coffee plantations and the verdant green western ghats to sandy beaches and cascading waterfalls, Karnataka has plenty to see.

Come monsoon and the state comes alive with lush greenery and babbling waterfalls. From stepped waterfalls that invite people to jump into tall waterfalls that create the perfect Instagramable backdrop, there are innumerable waterfalls waiting to be explored. These spots make for ideal weekend getaway destinations.

Planning weekend getaways to Karnataka’s waterfalls

One of the plus points of living in Karnataka is that there’s always a waterfall not too far from your town. Many of these spots are just a few hour’s drive away. The scenic route to the waterfall is a treat in itself – you won’t even realize the hours go by.

Many of Karnataka’s waterfalls are located in the proximity of villages and small towns with homestay options. From here, you can plan a trek to the waterfalls and a picnic around them. Some waterfalls also have mythical associations and temples nearby. You can also enjoy an afternoon swim in some of these waterfalls. Of course, you must make sure that the waterfalls you’re going to are safe for a swim.
