Sathoddi Falls
Sathoddi Falls Details: This spectacular rectangular waterfall is formed by several unnamed streams that converge near the Kallaramane Ghat. It drops from a height of approximately 15 meters (50 feet) into a serene natural pool. The falls eventually join the backwaters of the Kodasalli Dam on the Ka li River. Nestled within the dense tropical forests of the Western Ghats, it offers a tranquil escape for nature enthusiasts. The area is rich in biodiversity, housing various species of birds and butterflies. It is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the Uttara Kannada district, often compared to Niagara Falls due to its broad, rectangular shape and steady flow.
