Hebbe Falls
ಹೆಬ್ಬೆ ಜಲಪಾತ
A two-tier waterfall with a total drop of about 168 meters, reached by jeep through coffee estates and then on foot, the most famous waterfall in Chikmagalur.
Located in forest and coffee estates near Kemmangundi, the falls are split into two tiers, the Big Hebbe and the Small Hebbe, with a combined drop of about 168 meters (550 feet). You can swim in the pool below. From Kemmangundi, you need to hire a local jeep for about 8 kilometers (5 miles) over a bumpy mountain road, followed by a walk of about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles), with some stretches requiring you to wade across a stream. Admission and jeep fare are charged separately. During peak monsoon season the falls are often closed for safety reasons. The rocks around the pool are slippery, so take care.
