Coorg in the monsoon is a rain-kissed paradise of vibrant greens, and there’s no better place to see that than in its waterfalls. With water thundering down moss-covered cliffs, mist veils floating in the air, and forest alive with sounds, this is the perfect time to see Coorg waterfalls in all their untamed beauty.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are five of the most breathtaking waterfalls to include in your Coorg sightseeing itinerary this season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbey Falls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many claim it’s the most popular among them all, and Abbey Falls in Coorg is a treat to watch during the rains. Just 8 km from Madikeri, the falls plummet steeply from a height of approximately 70 feet, with water thundering through thick greenery and cascading into a rock-strewn pool below.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The front of the falls has a beautiful hanging bridge viewpoint. The falls are surrounded by coffee and spice plantations on all sides, and the approach is just as beautiful as the falls.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iruppu Falls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the route to the Brahmagiri range along the Karnataka\u2013Kerala border is Iruppu Falls, a holy and picturesque location shrouded in myths and foliage. The water here drops in several stages from almost 170 feet, falling into the valley below that is covered with forest.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Locals regard the falls as sacred, and they’re a suitable place to begin short hikes too. As a nature couple or solo traveler, this one checked both Coorg waterfalls and spiritual sites off your bucket list.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelavara Falls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Coorg’s most unusual and possibly one of its most stunning waterfalls, Chelavara is a broad curtain of water cascading down a huge rock face. It’s usually less crowded with tourists, so it’s a peaceful place to simply sit, listen, and absorb the rain-washed scenery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The short walk to the falls from the road adds a sense of discovery. Just be careful, as the rocks can be slippery in monsoon.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mallalli Falls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for drama, Mallalli Falls brings it in full force. Set at the foothills of the Pushpagiri Hills, these falls are massive, especially during monsoon, and can be heard before they\u2019re seen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a short but slightly inclined descent to reach them. But you know what, once you’re there, it’s all worth it. This is a photographer, trekker, and searchers of raw monsoon beauty favourite. Mallalli is also an excellent choice if you’re into adventure sports in Coorg like trekking or forest photography.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Devaragundi Falls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Less popular but no less satisfying, Devaragundi Falls at Thodikana is situated way back in the forests and can be reached only by a short walk. It’s a peaceful, hallowed place and feels largely unspoiled. The stream here drifts along gently before plummeting into a rocky chasm, producing a calm cascade amidst wild greens.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to its religious importance and natural isolation, Devaragundi is ideal for those who want to enjoy Coorg waterfalls free from the crowd.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More Than Just Waterfalls<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re expecting a monsoon trip filled with nature and adventure, Coorg has more than just beautiful landscapes in store. Include river rafting in Coorg (particularly around Barapole River), plantation strolls, and hikes in your travel plans. It’s among the best spots in South India to experience both relaxation and a touch of adventure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you’re on a solo weekend getaway to the nature or a Coorg weekend trip for sightseeing with friends, these waterfalls make your rainy-season plans magic.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
