Come monsoon, many waterfalls come alive in the hilly regions of South India – in the Sahyadris and Nilgiris. Drive around these hills, and you encounter streams running down hurriedly every few minutes, each one looking prettier than the next. Here is a compilation of a small number of them – some of them very well known and some nondescript.<\/p>\n

\"Jog<\/a>
\nJog Falls<\/a> is the highest waterfall in India. A series of dams constructed upstream have now rendered this fall to only a trickle of water most of the year. Last year, good rains opened up the gates and the fall was in its full glory<\/a> after good two decades!<\/p>\n

\"Hogenakkal
\nHogenakkal<\/a> is one of the beautiful waterfalls on the border of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n

\"Irpu<\/a>
\nIrpu Waterfall<\/a> in Coorg is beautiful in itself, and is in a pretty location at the base of Brahmagiri Hills in Coorg.<\/p>\n

\"Abbi
\nAbbi falls<\/a> is another waterfall in Coorg close to Madikeri, and is a popular tourist destination<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nA small waterfall on Ooty-Gudalur road<\/p>\n

\"Muthyala<\/a>
\nMuthyala Madu<\/a> is just outside Bangalore, near Anekal town.<\/p>\n

\"Waterfall<\/a>
\nAn unknown waterfall on near Chikmagalur on Charmadi Ghat<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe stream fed by the waterfall above.<\/p>\n

\"Mekedatu\"
\nThanks to a comment by Sanjay, I was reminded of gushing waters of Kaveri upstream of Mekedatu<\/a>. Many small to big waterfalls occur before Kaveri slides through a small channel at Mekedatu, and this is one of them.<\/p>\n

\"Waterfall,
\nThis is a waterfall near Agumbe, which requires a thirty minute walk in a leech ridden path. But the beauty of the waterfall amidst the dense forest is worth all the effort.<\/p>\n

Missing here is the image of two waterfalls at Shivanasamudra<\/a> – Gaganachukki and Bharachukki where Kaveri falls down from a good height. Unfortunately I never happened to carry the camera each time I was there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
