Abbi Water Falls
In the mountains of the Western
Ghats, several streams combine, swelling with the monsoon rains and plunging
down the mountain slope at enormous speed, hitting the huge boulders hard and
forcing through the crevices and ravines. A misty cloud hangs over the falls.
From here the water flows into the Kaveri River. During the monsoon season the
water flow is very high. During the dry seasons the flow is considerably
diminished. One can find a lot of leeches inside the water.
The waterfall is located between private coffee
plantations with stocky coffee bushes and spice estates with trees entwined
with pepper vines. The falls appear suddenly, the water cascading over rocks
into calm pools. A hanging bridge constructed just opposite the falls comes in
handy for the Tourists.
