Beautiful Arasinagundi waterfalls. I've never been to a place like this.. The monsoon showers, the crashing of the falls. You can't really describe it. I dont know how long this experience took me to get over it
I've been to many waterfalls, but this is the best one I've seen. It's nice because it has a variety of different levels of beautiful waterfalls that you can walk up to. The view from the top is incredible. Words cannot describe my experience here
This was one of the best choices we made on our vacation. We were looking for a relaxing day in nature and that's exactly what we got at Arasinagundi. The waterfalls are beautiful and the hike is perfect for all ages
