Mallalli Falls
ಮಲ್ಲಳ್ಳಿ ಜಲಪಾತ
A high waterfall on the Kumaradhara River at the foot of the Pushpagiri hills. A flight of about a thousand steps leads down to a viewing platform at the bottom of the gorge.
Mallalli Falls lies about 25 km west of Somwarpet in northern Coorg. The Kumaradhara River drops about 60 meters from the Pushpagiri hills and is most impressive after the monsoon. From the parking area, you descend about 1,000 steps to the observation platform, and the climb back up is tiring. A small entry fee applies. The steps are slippery in the rainy season, and swimming downstream is prohibited. It is about 45 km from Madikeri via Somwarpet and can be combined with Mandalpatti or Harangi on the same day.
