Unchalli Falls: A Journey into Karnataka's Pristine Wilderness

Nestled deep within Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district, Unchalli Falls, also known as Lushington Falls, is a towering natural spectacle. Plunging approximately 116 meters (380 feet) into a pool below, it’s a sight to behold.

Reaching Unchalli Falls demands a trek through rugged terrain and dense forests, starting from Heggarne Village. This 6-7 kilometer trek promises adventure and scenic views, especially during the monsoon season from July to September, when the waterfall is at its most impressive.

Aside from its stunning cascade, Unchalli Falls offers activities like trekking and photography. However, caution is essential, especially during heavy rainfall when paths can become treacherous.

Accommodation options are limited, with nearby towns like Sirsi offering the closest amenities. Camping near the falls is an alternative for those seeking a more immersive experience in nature.

Unchalli Falls isn’t just a destination; it’s an invitation to explore Karnataka’s untamed wilderness. It’s a place where the raw power of nature meets the thrill of adventure, beckoning visitors to discover its wonders firsthand.
