Jhari Falls (Buttermilk Falls)
ಝರಿ ಜಲಪಾತ
A waterfall hidden deep in a coffee estate, reached by riding local jeeps over a bumpy mountain road, where you can wade in the pools at the base.
Located on a coffee estate near Attigundi, the waterfall is also called “Buttermilk Falls” because its spray is so white. The final stretch of about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) is a steep dirt and stone track, so you need to change to a local jeep at the main road (round trip about 1,000 to 1,500 rupees per jeep), followed by a short walk to a shallow pool at the foot of the falls. Water levels are high after the monsoon, and the falls may close during the rainy season. Visits are often combined with Mullayanagiri and Baba Budangiri on the same day.
