This place is very good for photo shot compare to very much crowded Abbe falls.




















Unfortunately, several accidents have been reported near Chelavara falls, hence Kodagu district administration have presently banned tourists there. One can surely enjoy the beauty from a distance, but cannot descend to reach up to the waterfall.
