Muthyalamaduvu Falls in Karnataka

Muthyala Maduvu ( Pearl Valley ) Waterfall 300 feet . (45 kms South of Bangalore)

For those who wish to escape for a day to a quiet retreat, Muthyala Maduvu would be the ideal choice. Situated in the midst of hills, nestled deep down in a valley, this secluded place makes a fascinating picnic spot.

The attraction of this spot is the water falls, formed by thin jets of water spurting down from a height of 90 mts. These jets of water at the bottom give an impression of a pond of pearls - Muthyala Maduvu in Telugu. Overlooking these falls is a small shrine dedicated to Shiva, adding a religious touch to the place.

It is an hours drive from Bangalore and must be almost 40kms. Its in the periphery of Banneraghatta National Park. To reach the place, head out on Banneraghatta Road, continue beyond Banneraghatta National Park and reach Anekal. Take a right from Anekal and drive for an other 10 minutes to reach the valley. Don't expect good roads, but you should be able to manage without much problems. An alternate, slightly longer road is to reach Anekal via Attibele by taking Hosur Road. Don't expect to find any food or accomodation, but unfortunately you can find some one selling beer and soft drinks!! Start early and reach by 8 or 9am to enjoy the quiteness of the valley in early morning and also to avoid noisy day trippers who arrive later in the day.
