Chelavara
Falls is one of the most picturesque waterfalls near Coorg, best known for its
splendid vista and magnificent size. Locally known as Emepaare, meaning
tortoise; this one looks full and gorgeous during monsoon. The rock on which
the water falls resembles a tortoise giving it its name. . It is one of the
best places to visit in Coorg.
The
waterfall is located approximately about 12 Kms from Kakabbe, after a little
diversion from Virajpete road (17 Kms from Virajapete), The falls is visible
from a distance as we neared the place. After reaching the end of the road, and
needs 10 minutes' walk to reach the falls.
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.
Monsoon
is the best season to visit the falls.
