Kulimagod Falls in Uttara Kannada
Kulimagod Falls in Uttara Kannada

Uttara Kannada district is blessed with several picturesque waterfalls and some of them are popular tourist destinations too. Magod Falls is one such waterfall that has caught the imagination of people. It is formed by the east-flowing Bedti river. There are many travel attractions like Kavadikere, Chandaguli Temple, Reddy kere and Jenukallu Gudda near Magod Falls that one can consider visiting.

However, among all the attractions near Magod Falls, the Kulimagod Falls (in Kannada, kuli means pond) stands out for its sheer beauty and accessibility. It is formed by a tiny tributary of Bedti and its relatively easy accessibility has made it a not-to-be missed spot for nature tourists who travel to Magod Falls.

Normally, it takes a great amount of trekking down the valley for one to reach the foot of any waterfall. This is not the case with Kulimagod. With very little effort, one can get under its misty showers falling down from a height of about 50 feet.

To get there, one has to take Magod road from Yellapur and take a left turn just before Magod Falls. There is a sign board at this turning, which directs us to the Kulimagod Falls.

The final half kilometre to the waterfalls needs to be trekked as the forest path is dense. Monsoon is the best season to visit this enchanting waterfall.
