Untouched beauty Hanumangundi falls that is stuck amidst western ghats is only 15 km from Kudremukh National Park. Also popularly known as Suthanabbi falls among locals, this falls is surrounded by lush green forests and hilly terrains, Hanumangundi falls slides down bouncing on the rocks that appear like uneven steps from 100 ft to reach the ground. At the touchdown of the Hanumangundi falls, a tiny pool is formed which is not very deep. Hence, it is an absolutely safe and fun place to swim around as the water gushing out directly falls on you
You can spot this falls located between Lakshya dam and Karkala in Mangalore- Sholapur Highway. In spite of being next to the highway and a small board indicating the falls, you might miss out on the spot, so be watchful and never take your eye off the road. You need to take a short walk from the main road before taking 300 odd steps near the forest department to reach the bottom of the falls. Be prepared to jump across a few small rocky and slippery boulders before you reach the tiny pool.
Furthermore, don’t forget to carry your own food as you will hardly find any eateries in the nearby surroundings.
Undoubtedly, one of the serene waterfalls with not much of a crowd and best place to take a dip in chilled water and have me-time.
