Abby Falls in Karnataka

Located at a distance of 9km from the town of Madikeri, the Abbey falls produces a spectacular sight of cascading water. Nestled amidst private coffee plantations, the Abbey Falls provide a striking contrast to the sylvan surroundings of Coorg. A narrow road winding through the green and dense foliage of surrounding coffee plantations leads to Abbey Falls.

The gushing waters of the Abbey falls, tumbling down a rocky ravine, results in a deafening sound that can be heard from a distance. During the monsoon season, the Abbey swells with abundant seasonal rains with water plunging down the mountain slope at enormous speed. The scenic locales around the Abbe falls make for an ideal picnic destination.

Also known as the Abbi Falls, it is located 10 kms from the town of Madikeri in the Western Ghats. The Western Ghats is infested with the spectacular waterfalls. During the monsoons the river beds swell and various tributaries join to plunge down the mountain ranges from great heights and exhibit a marvelous spectacle of the cascading water on rocky beds giving rise to misty sprays.

In their course they unite with River Cauveri. Surrounded with dense forests it offers a serenity inspite of the deafening sound of the plummeting force of the waterfalls. Abbey Falls Karnataka offers a great view to one looking for the thunderous roar of a cataract.
