Kudlu Theertha Falls
Kudlu Theertha
A waterfall about 38 metres high near the source of the Sita River, reached by a forest hike. Legend says ancient sages once meditated here.
Located south of Agumbe, near the source of the Sita River, the falls lie within the Someshwara Forest Reserve. Water pours from a rock face about 38 metres high into a natural pool. Legend holds that sages once meditated here, and the site is regarded as sacred. The hike from the Seethanadi entrance in the direction of Hebri, or from the Kudlu road, takes about 3 to 4 km, and a forest department entry ticket is required. The falls may close during the rainy season, so check whether they are open before setting out.
