Trek to Unchalli Falls
The trek up to the falls begins at the small village of Hegganur, where parking is available for any private or tourist vehicles. Once you've left your cars and are ready to start your trek, find out the best routes to take at that time from localites. It is also highly recommended to take the help of a guide alongside any visitors who are not frequent trekkers since the trek is rugged and slightly dangerous. Mostly though, it?s suggested so that you don't get lost in the dense forests.
Surrounded by hugely diverse Flora and Fauna, it is a very scenic route and is tough enough to give you a workout and an endorphin rush, but easy enough for the elderly and children to be able to do. Once you reach the top platform, a set of natural rocky steps will allow you to walk to the bottom platform which gives you a much better view of the falls, from a closer perspective, as compared to the top. However, it is risky to walk down the stairs, so climb down with caution and restraint.
Route and Environment
Despite being a strenuous climb, the surrounding flowers and small animals sightings are worth the inconvenience. Encouraged by the beautiful, natural meeting of the waterfall and the forests, there are several colorful flowers and lush, tall green trees and creepers that provide ample shade and a cooling ambiance. The ever-present cool breeze will keep you company throught the travel and keep the exhaustion away.
Untouched by commercialization, the whole journey is only between you and the nature. The relatively less steep slopes and rocky path eventually makes way for the misty grandeur of the gushing waterfalls that plummet to the ground loudly. The spray of the water will revive your energy along with a drink of cold water from the near by, convienient water tanks. There are also seating areas all along in case you get too tired.
