Mallalli Falls

Mallalli Falls is a waterfall in Kodagu district where the Kumaradhara River drops over dark rocks of the Pushpagiri hills, creating a white spray. The water falls approximately 40 meters and forms a dramatic cascade against the black stone face.

The Kumaradhara River begins its long descent at this waterfall through mountain valleys before eventually merging with the Netravati River and flowing toward the sea. This water route has shaped the landscape and valleys of the region over time.

Coffee plantations surround the falls and shape daily life in this region, connecting visitors to the farming traditions of local communities. The land shows how agriculture and water sources work together in Kodagu's landscape.

A trek of about two kilometers from the main road leads to the falls and is manageable for most visitors. Early morning visits offer better lighting for viewing and photography.

During the monsoon months from June to September, water volume increases dramatically, turning the falls into a much more powerful display. Visitors who come during this season witness a completely different energy compared to drier months.
