Hanuman gundi-Karnataka







Hanuman Gundi waterfalls is one of the main attractions near Kudremukh in Chikmagalur district.
Hanumangundi falls also called as Suthanabbi falls is located in the hilly region between Karkala and Lakya dam which is surrounded byKudremukh National Park.


The water falling down from a height of above 100 feet falling on the natural rocks majestically is exciting view.

You can have body rejuvenating and energizing bath at this place and enjoy the beauty of calm and marvel of the waterfall.

October to May is the best time to visit Hanuman Gundi Waterfalls. But during rainy season the waterfall has enchanting beauty but you are not allowed to take bath.



REACHING THERE:
It falls in Chikkamagalur district, and is in the heart of Kudremukh National Park. Taking your own vehicle would be a better option as the waterfall is in the interior region covered by forest which is one of the reasons for its beauty. It is about 30kms from Sringeri which is a major tourist spot. You get vehicles to the waterfall from this town. After reaching the waterfall you need to get down around 300 steps to reach the base where there lies a small rocky pond into which the water falls. The view is majestic and if the water is less, you can even take a rejuvenating bath. There are steps constructed by the forest department which are good enough for the usage. They charge you a nominal fee of Rs.20 as entrance which is worth for the beauty of the waterfall.There are no restaurants around and hence you need to pack your own food...
