Explore Abbey Falls — A Tourist Delight with Your F

The magnanimous Abbey Falls are located at a distance of around 5km from Madikeri, the district headquarters of Coorg in Karnataka. It’s a delightful place to visit on your family vacation in Coorg. Cascading down a steep height of 70 feet, the crystal gush of water is one of the most splendid sights in the region, which will leave your kids in awe! What’s more: the falls are located deep inside the verdant Western Ghats, making sure a whole new ecosystem is open to your family for a day of exploration. Interestingly, they were called Jessie Falls, after the daughter of a British captain.

The Abbey Falls in Karnataka are a haven for nature lovers, and budding as well as amateur shutterbugs. There’s an over-bridge that is situated just opposite the falls, providing a gorgeous view of the gushing water. Your kids will be super excited with it. What’s more exciting is the spray of water that the Abbey Falls shower on you when you are on the foot-over bridge. It’s sure to elicit excited gasps from the children! This is also a wonderful place to teach your children about geography, mountains, and the formation of waterfalls.

Once you check into your Coorg resort, make sure you pack a picnic basket and arm everyone with lots of mosquito repellent before heading out to this picturesque spot. Amidst all the fun, remember that bathing isn’t allowed in the Abbey Falls because it is quite treacherous and the waters gush with great force.

You will have to walk 200 steps downwards through fragrant coffee, cardamom, pepper, and other spice plantations. This in itself is a fantastic way to teach your kids about the varied plants and insects that exist in the plantation therefore do visit coffee plantations of Coorg with your kids. When you are there, go trekking through the woods, click loads of pictures on the over-bridge, and watch the waters as they cascade down to join River Cauvery.
