ABBEY FALLS

Abbey Falls which is also Abbi Falls is in Kodagu, in the Western Ghats in Karnataka. It is located 10 km from the Madikeri town and 270 km from Bangalore.

In the mountains of the Western Ghats, several streams combine, swelling with the monsoon rains and plunging down the mountain slope at enormous speed, hitting the huge boulders hard and forcing through the crevices and ravines. A misty cloud hangs over the falls. From here the water flows into the Kaveri River.

The waterfall is located between private coffee plantations with stocky coffee bushes and spice estates with trees entwined with pepper vines. The falls appear suddenly, the water cascading over rocks into calm pools.

During the monsoon season the water flow is very high and during the dry seasons the flow is considerably diminished.

HOW TO REACH ABBEY FALLS
From Madikeri the falls are accessible by a narrow road to the coffee estate. A path through coffee and cardamom plantations leads to the waterfalls. The roar of the falls can be heard from the road. The best time to visit is early winter when the monsoons have brought plenty of water.
