Unchalli falls

23 October 2006

The Aganashini river forms this beautiful falls 30 kms from Siddapura. The Deepavali visit to my native place provided an opportunity to visit this falls. Myself, Chaya and five of my younger cousins visited this place.

The team members were
Myself
Chaya
Anusha
Anujith
Abhiram
Abhilash
Adarsha
Needless to say, the car was fully loaded with people. I had been to this falls eight years ago. At that time, I had to trek for 5 kms to reach the falls. Now, there is a nice tar road almost to the falls barring the last 0.5 kms. There is also a view point to watch the falls.

Nice view of a river on the way to falls.

The falls was in full roar thanks to the good rain during this monsoon. This falls is also called as “Keppa Joga” and “lusington falls”. The rainbow added to the beauty.
Abhilash and Anujith - the cool kids.
The matured ones - Adarsha and Abhiram
I wanted to get down to the falls but was strongly advised against going down by local people. The path was slippery due to rains. Also, it was quite risky to take the younger kids to the bottom of the falls.

Well, i have a big list(25 !!) of waterfalls in Uttara Kannda to visit. It will be a long way to cover those falls.
