Chelavara Waterfall

Chelavara Falls is formed by a tributary of river Kaveri, flowing near and around the highway of Virajpet - Talakaveri. It is 16 km away from the central city of Virajpet, Karnataka. The location of these falls is a scenic pleasure for tourists wanting to explore the best places in Coorg. Though, they are advised to steer clear from the close proximity of these falls. It has a depth of approximately 150 feet and its pooling water is an accident-prone area. So, travelers need to be responsible while exploring the falls.

Although the authorities have restricted the visits to the water pool of the waterfall, still families spend their time around the rainy or monsoon season to watch the mesmerizing fall in its full glory. Rocks near the waterfall are tortoise-shaped, which becomes another sight to see for travelers.

In fact, these tourists also enjoy having a picnic with friends and families over the hilltop, or else, they love to hike up to Chelavara Waterfalls for great photoshoots and selfie sessions. Many travel bloggers are found crowding this place in Coorg for their video logs, which people enjoy a lot.

In fact, nature and the weather are the two main reasons for visiting Chelavara Falls. Despite that, tourists can wander around the homestays like Coorg Summer Palace and Winter Palace. Besides that, Kabbe Hills, and local temples like Karada Bhagavathi Temple and Kekmani Bhagavathi Bhadrakali Temple are popular tourist attractions.
