Abbey Falls, Waterfall in Kodagu District, Karnataka, India

Located 8 kilometers from Madikeri town, Abbey Falls drops 70 feet over wide rocks, forming a substantial cascade within private coffee plantations.

The waterfall received its name during British colonial times, when it was initially called Jessy Falls after the daughter of the first British chaplain.

A small shrine dedicated to Goddess Kali stands near the observation bridge, reflecting the integration of natural landmarks with Hindu religious practices.

The falls remain open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with the monsoon season between July and October offering the strongest water flow.

Multiple mountain springs merge at this location before joining the River Kaveri, creating a wide water curtain across dark mountain rocks.
