We started our journey little late because of heavy nonstop pouring rain from last night but didn’t bother much because we knew this place & had gone several times before to this waterfalls. Normally a quick hike deep into the forest reserve it would take around 1.5 hour from the village.
After a few minutes of walk on our regular route we entered dense forest. The terrain is difficult and the weather treacherous, certainly not a place for the weak hearted. The continuous downpour made our target to inaccessible and we couldn’t even find the regular path in the deep Jungles.
Route runs inside the forest sometimes it’s highly possible that you may get lost. This time our bad luck (?) we lost our track, me & Ashok visited this waterfalls several times but still we couldn’t find the right track. In this range it’s compulsory to hire a guide when going on jungle hikes because of risk factor of getting lost despite the clear and wide trails in this terrain.
So finally we crossed 2-3 streams with great difficulty & found our own routes, started to walk with improper direction fighting with deadly infinite leaches. After lot of huffs and uffffs, we finally reached some rocky area where we could see the falls in the long distance. But after watching long view of the falls we felt we would not be able to make it till there. But we were in no mood to come back so decided to go left side direction because in my last visit I heard one more beautiful waterfall in this range.
Every weekend in this monsoon we have been going to all new strange places exploring the glory of nature and getting to see many wonderful places many beautiful waterfalls which is so full of life during the rains and this week too we planned to go to a place called Koodlu Waterfalls (Sita falls), though we had visited this place before we still wanted to see it once again
So finally me my cousin and my friends a team of 7 started our journey it was raining heavily and the road was very slippery a thick canopy of trees we could hardly see anything ,we crossed a bridge and walked for some more time then we reached a small beautiful hamlet surrounded by thick forest and mountains
it was so beautiful and calm we were wondering if it was another planet with scores of waterfalls all around us which we could see from a distance it was the best moment monsoon was really magical.
A little distance after the village we entered thick forest again on the way we had to cross a big stream and due to heavy rains it was swollen flowing in full force and looked very rough and dangerous we were debating if we have to turn back when a stranger out of nowhere appeared and helped us cross the stream.
But I just could not enjoy thinking of our team and how risky it was i was still wondering with 3ft deep with heavy force finally we 5 able to cross the river. I could see lots of insects and spiders once I crossed the stream the place was dense with trees the ground was dark and soggy.
It was a bit inclined and I started trekking upwards. There were small streams running across at many places and few trees had got uprooted blocking the way. After some 30 minutes, I could hear the sound of gushing water & we reached the bottom of the falls.
I had visited several times to Koodlu but this time its beauty & volume was stunning. Hazy view of the Gushing Milky waterfalls had no words to describe. There was one more falls immediately above this fall called MANGA TIRTHA and is visible in normal days .
We couldn’t spend much time near the falls because we were constantly thinking of how to return back as we had to cross the stream again and with heavy rains it was really risky, but riskand treading on dangerous grounds was real fun and part of life and if we had to see such a wonderful place it was worth all the risk.
On our return we got a beautiful view of Barkana waterfalls, and the whole region was covered by a blanket of fog & nature had hidden its beauty inside the blanket. I started my bike looking around once again capturing the beautiful sight, with a new energy and great satisfaction i headed back home.....
The journey was fairly light it was a short trek via local Areca nut estate and would be presented with one of the most dramatic waterfalls almost 2.30 hours journey from Udupi. Rajesh Sir had searched this Unknown waterfall & we started our journey late Sunday afternoon, Anil once again accompanied us on his bike.
After about 15min of riding we parked our bikes on a mud road and started our trek after passing few houses we entered into dense vegetation inside the estate our walk inside the estate was very calm and with less effort we could reach the waterfall in less the 15 min from the road, this area was even more serene and very quiet except for the sound of the gushing falls it was complete peace
This waterfall though small in size when compared to the other waterfalls, was very beautiful. Here it cascades in 3 wide steps upon a big wide rock slab. View from the bottom of this fall was breath taking very spectacular a small wonder with its full energy a very relaxing and calming atmosphere to match though a small short trek it was glorious,
since this fall is very easy to approach and such places are usually crowded and littered with unmindful visitors hope it's serenity is maintained and place well preserved, this fall is located inside a estate and later it may become a private property also and with that the place may retain its peace.
After spending some time we returned back late in the evening with a very refreshed mind to go about our daily work for rest of the week....
I enjoyed the hike because throughout the trail, a beautiful and wide brook was always present; we had passed through a couple of mini waterfalls & finally we reached in front of beautiful gushing waterfalls. We enjoyed some at the time bottom of this falls & stared to climb on the other side of the falls. After a risky climb we turned into the deep forest. When we were walking nothing was on our mind no proper target even we lost the hope we could reach our desirable place, because we were already deep in the jungle.
After a hard attempt in the forest one big surprise was waiting for us. We reached the bed of one big waterfall called Kela Abbi. (On our return the local tribe told it was KelaAbbi).Here Water streams gently flow cascading down the terraces made on the hill slopes, the melodious sounds of exotic bird calls - a serenity that filters down to the heart. Oh! This place is heaven.
Falls was just simply astounding. With foliage on both sides of the waterfall opening gap and suspended high in the air, The Waterfalls were positioned on a slight incline of a hill so when you get in one of the cascade, you pretty much have your own infinity Waterfalls that overlooks part jungle scenery and green moss growing behind it Nothing can prepare for the waterfall's aura because the moment I laid my eyes on the waterfall, I was enchanted. 
On our return we missed the route once again & our journey towards the village was really tiring, though a very tough trek we were in for lot of surprises we got to see a fall which was not known to many except for the few locals....
