Bandaje Falls Trek from Bangalore – Fort Ruins, Waterfalls & Western Ghats Wilderness
Hi Trekkers,
This is One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Karnataka is about
200 feet high and plunges down into the Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada
district. It is a must-see in the state. The waterfalls are only reachable by
hiking through thick forests and grasslands, and it's worth it. Only on the way
to the Bandaje Falls can you experience the beauty of dense, lush green
forests, stunning Ghats, breathtaking sunsets, the sounds of birds singing, and
the smell of wild flowers.
Take a road and trek the trail that is less travelled and
chase those gushing Bandaje Arbi waterfalls.
Bandaje Falls and the Ballarayanadurga Trek are sure
to be visited again and again. They are a paradise for nature lovers, a dream
trek for photographers, and a dream trek for trekkers. The peaceful and
beautiful scenery will make sure that everyone who comes has a great time.
While in Karnataka and on the way to Chikkamagalur, you have to drive through
the Charmadi Ghats of the Western Ghats to get to Bandaje Falls Trek. You need
to get permission from the Belthangady wildlife range office in Kudremukh National
Park to visit the falls and hike in Ballalarayana. The trek and the falls are a
feast for the eyes.
The best thing about Bandaje Waterfalls is that the way to get there is not very busy because the trek trail is hard. The only way to get to the falls is by hiking, and if you're dedicated, determined, love nature, and are in good shape, you can get there. Yes, you need to be in good shape to get to the falls because the hike takes a lot of energy. The waterfalls keep flowing as one stream and join the river Netravathi as a tributary. The view is worth all the work.
