7 Waterfalls in Kodagu (Coorg) That You Shouldn't Miss
The misty hills, lush teakwood and sandalwood forests, and acres of tea and coffee plantations of Kodagu are, in a word, stunning. Also known as Coorg and dubbed "The Scotland of India," Kodagu is a postcard-perfect region of scattered villages and hamlets, which are the epitome of old-world charm. Kodagu is ideal for outdoor activities such as trekking, angling and white-water rafting, and major festivals like Keil Poldu (worship of weapons), Cauvery Shankaramana (return of the river goddess) and the Huttari (harvest) festival are a huge draw.

The falls are situated at a distance of 25 kilometres from Somwarpet.Mallalli falls - its orchestra of water, good location.The best time to visit the falls is the monsoon season as during this time the falls have plenty of water. Even the greenery around is at its best during this time. During summer season, the water of the fall almost dries down. Visiting during rainy season can be a good idea.

It is a great hike with kids through the forest. The waterfall is untouched and beautiful. The only problem we faced is that Google maps stops you about 3 km away from the actual hiking spot. You can ask around and continue. The hike itself is uphill for about 2km. Jeeps can go quite near that spot but since we did not have one we chose to hike.best time is morning.It starts becoming dark at 6pm

Even in February, there was a distinct stream of water falling. The crowd was thin. The waterfall being in the midst of the Brahmagiri Forest Range (which is also a wildlife sanctuary) keeps the surrounding pristine. At the gate, before you ascend, you need to pay entry fees for the waterfall area as well as the sanctuary (Rs. 25 + Rs. 25). There are a few eateries near the gate; the sugarcane juice stall is a hit. The paid toilet is clean.

Irpu falls is on the way from Kutta towards Virajpet. Sign boards are plenty and google also gives exact drive instructions. The approach road is narrow and around 200mtrs from destination, the road is bad. Cars with low clearance need to be mindful. Once you reach irpu temple you can take entry tickets (25 per head) and take an easy trek of around 750mtrs to the falls. There are atleast 100 steps to climb on the way. You have to ensure that the local area had received rainfall before visiting. Otherwise you will be disappointed. I wonder why people don't research and visit places. Then they get disappointed and write reviews are if it way not their mistake. I visited in October after monsoon, and the waterfall was in its best. You can hear the rumbling even before you reach the place. Some people will make adhoc arrangement and will try to swim in the water. Please don't. Reason being this is inside Brahmagiri park area and there are lots of snakes. Good to view and witness the power of water. If you need to cool down, trek back and have fruit juice/lemon soda near the entrance.
