Kunchikal Falls is a waterfall in India located in the Nidagodu village near Masthikatte in the Shimoga district of state Karnataka.[2] Kunchikal falls cascades down rocky boulders and the total height of the falls is 183 meters (600 feet) according to the World Waterfall Database.[1] Kunchikal falls is formed by the Varahi river.
After the construction of the Mani Dam near Masthikatte[3] and an underground power generation station[3] near Hulikal, Shimoga district, the water flow to the falls is greatly reduced and is visible only during the rainy season (July-Sept). As the falls are within a restricted area [citation needed], a gate pass is required to visit. The nearest Airport is at Mangalore, situated 138 km (86 mi) from Kunchikal Falls.[4]
