Things to Know
- •One of the things to do in Coorg is visiting the waterfall is at its most powerful just after the monsoon season (July–October); summer months have reduced water flow.
- •Visitors must walk down a series of steps through coffee plantations to reach the viewpoint — the climb back up can be tiring.
- •Entry into the water is not allowed due to strong currents and slippery rocks; viewing is from a hanging bridge.
- •Early morning visits are best to avoid crowds and get clear photographs without mist blocking the view.
- •Wear shoes with good grip, as the path and steps can be wet and slippery throughout the year. This will keep you safe during your Coorg sightseeing moments.
