MAGOD FALLS | YELLAPUR | WESTERN GHATS OF INDIA| KARIZMA | OFF ROAD | Wanderlust On Wheel

Day 1: MAGOD FALLS, YELLAPURA, UTTARA KANNADA RIDE

Description:
Many rivers leap, jump, bounce and fall into deep gorges from the exotic hills of western ghats. One of them is River Bedti taking a two cascaded leap of 650 feet forming Mighty Magod or Magodu Falls. This place is a absolute beauty in monsoon with Bedti river flowing in full glory in the midst of thick western ghats. Magod Falls looks like all covered by green carpet and cappuccino coffee flowing with full force churning froth till the pool. I had visited it on the right time and was lucky to see the falls at its peak.
One cannot get close to the falls as you can only see it from the view point placed in opposite side of the hill. Even here tourists can reach the bottom of the waterfalls. However, it is little risky during the monsoon season. Hence, it is better to enjoy this falls from the viewpoints.There are three view points. While the first point is easily accessible for all, while two and three requires a bit of climbing.
