Kemmangundi, Hill station in Karnataka, India.
Located at 1434 meters elevation in the Baba Budan Giri Range, Kemmangundi contains mountain streams, cascading waterfalls, and dense vegetation throughout its slopes.
The hill station gained recognition when Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, ruler of Mysore, established it as his personal summer retreat in the early twentieth century.
The name Kemmangundi reflects its geographical features, combining three Kannada words: Kempu for red, mannu for soil, and gundi for pit.
The Horticultural Department of Karnataka maintains the botanical gardens, resort facilities, and walking paths throughout the station grounds for visitors.
Two distinct waterfalls grace the area: the 168-meter Hebbe Falls splits into two stages, while the 122-meter Kallathi Falls flows near an ancient Vijayanagar temple.
