Sirimane Falls

Sirimane Falls is one among the many waterfalls of the Western Ghats of Karnataka.[1]

Location

Sirimane Falls is located at a distance of 5 km from Kigga near Sringeri, a popular pilgrim center. Nearest Airport is Mangalore and nearest Railway stations are Udupi (96 KM) and Shimoga (114 KM).

Kigga, a small village which houses the beautiful waterfalls is about 10 km from Sringeri. Water from the falls feeds coffee estates and paddy fields downstream. A moderate entry fee is collected to maintain the walkways and viewpoints. The money collected also supports a small hydraulic power plant which is built adjacent to falls which lights Kigga houses. The entire activity is controlled and maintained by local bodies.
