After a detailed plan with great excitement I and
Prashanth finally set off for searching new waterfalls in Kasargod district. On a beautiful morning we started our journey
to explore Kalleri Moole Waterfalls. After one hour bike ride we reached the
place where trek starts.
Almost 15 minutes walk we reached on top of the
waterfalls. I was richly rewarded by highly exalting view on edge of the
waterfalls. It is beautiful sight to see the waterfalls flowing from the 70feet
height and spread around 30 feet wild rock.The pristine surrounding
adds to the beauty of the place. There is nothing safety bars but you are free to venture as
far afield into the gorge as you dare, but with a 70feet plus drop we had to be
careful where we stepped. Kallerimoole waterfalls which is usually
roaring in full force between June to October.
A short walk through Coconut
and Areca plantation we reached the downer stream. We changed into our swim
suits and stepped into the stream, water was pristine and pretty cold, initial stretch
was covered by thick vegetation moreover every step on the boulders has to be
treated carefully near the waterfall as it can prove dangerous.
Nothing compares standing at the base of a
waterfall, with the spray in your skin and the deafening roar in your ears. We
passed through dizzying scenes of beauty that we usually see in nature
documentaries.
My senses were not ready for
such grandeur at that time that I usually blackout admiring the loveliness of
the rock formation. The water was very cold and we had a refreshing dip at
mountain water it’s supposed to have minerals and be very therapeutic both for
the skin and for your general health.
We spent an hour enjoying
the surroundings, the beauty of the falls and the scenic place made our soul cheerful
we carried loads of photos to relive those exciting time in many days to come.
But it was too less a price to pay for the wonderful time, fantastic moments
with the nature.
