Chelavara Falls, Natural waterfall in Kodagu district, India
The Chelavara Falls cascade down 150 feet over granite formations, creating multiple levels of water flow through the dense forest landscape.
The waterfall sits within the Kodagu district, a region that developed extensive coffee plantations during the British colonial period in Karnataka.
The name derives from local interpretations of the white water foam patterns that form when the tributary of Kaveri river drops over the rocks.
To reach the falls, visitors need to walk 200 meters through the forest from the parking area, with the best viewing times during monsoon season.
The rock formations at the base of Chelavara Falls form a natural pattern that resembles the shape of a tortoise.
