Unchalli Falls, 116-meter waterfall in Uttara Kannada district, India

Unchalli Falls is a waterfall in Uttara Kannada district where the Aghanashini River drops over a steep cliff surrounded by dense forest. The cascade descends through layers of rock and creates a powerful water curtain visible from multiple viewing angles.

A British district official documented the falls in 1845, an event that led to the alternative name Lushington Falls. This early record brought the location to wider attention and established it as a notable site in the region.

Local residents refer to the waterfall as Keppa Joga, reflecting the thunderous sound that echoes through the surrounding valleys.

To reach the falls, visitors walk on a forest trail that covers about one kilometer from the parking area to marked viewing platforms. Wear sturdy shoes as the path can be muddy and the terrain is uneven in places.

Unchalli Falls is listed among the world's five waterfalls where moonbows can be seen, a phenomenon produced when moonlight passes through the spray at night. The falls are also called Keppa Joga, meaning "deafening falls", because the roar of the water can reportedly be heard as far away as Bilagi, about 13 km off.
