Bear Shola Falls
கரடி சோலை அருவி
A seasonal waterfall in the forest on the edge of town, named after the bears that once came here to drink. It is reachable on foot.
Bear Shola Falls lies in a protected forest about 2 km northwest of Kodaikanal Lake. Legend has it that bears once came here to drink, which gave the falls their name. The waterfall is about 20 meters high and flows seasonally: strong during the rainy season, often reduced to a trickle in the dry season. From the junction, it is about a 10-minute walk along a forest path. The woods are peaceful and good for a short stroll. Entry is about 10 rupees, and it is open roughly 9:00 to 17:00.
