About Chunchi Falls in Bangalore

Chunchi Falls are the best pick to enjoy a short break from everyday hustle and bustle. Flowing at a distance of 83 km from Bangalore, Karnataka, these falls are en route Mekedatu and Sangama. Sangama is the confluence of rivers, where tourists can enjoy walking along. Mekedatu is a rock-strewn valley, where the river flows fenced by forest. Tucked amidst the rocky terrain and forest area, Chunchi Falls in Bangalore make a gorgeous picnic spot. Falling from a height of approximately 100 feet, these falls pass through several tiers before being collected in a small puddle that creates a pleasing swimming pool with running water.

The falls flow on the banks of River Arkavati and are a sight to behold. While heading to the Chunchi Falls, Bangalore, tourists come across a watchtower. This attraction should not be missed as it presents with a bird’s eye view of the rocky area, dotted by tress, creating a visual treat.

Chunchi Falls is the best place to watch River Cauvery gushing down gracefully before she becomes wild and thunders through Mekedatu. Sangama, Mekedatu, and Chunchi Falls collectively make a great outing. Sangama, which is located 3.5 km from Mekedatu, is the confluence of River Kaveri and River Arakavathi. Kaveri River at Sangama is over 150 meters wide and flows through a narrow gorge at Mekedatu. Coracle ride at Sangama is an experience to cherish.

Mekedatu is a Kannada word that translates to ‘goat's leap’. Here, River Cauvery flows into a deep and so narrow gorge, from where a goat once leaped over it to be saved from a tiger and that is how it got its name. River flows ferociously onto the rocks, sculpting some amazing shapes.   

Adventure aficionados can also trek down the rocky route at the bottom of the falls, drinking in the charm all around. Chunchi Falls is one of the famous weekend getaways around Bangalore and also among the most visited Bangalore tourist places.

Sonicasonawane's 5 days trip to Bangalore

While the trip was enjoyable overall, there were a couple of areas where I believe improvement is needed. Itinerary Suggestions: The itinerary provided could have been more thoughtfully tailored. Hotel Rooms & Houseboat Quality: Unfortunately, the hotels and rooms selected did not meet expectations. Considering the price paid, the accommodations were below standard. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between the pictures shown during booking and the actual rooms. The rooms were not as clean as they should have been, which was disappointing. Overall, I appreciate the efforts made by Travel Triangle, but there are areas for improvement to ensure a higher quality experience for future travelers. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

Himshita's 6 days trip to Bangalore

Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the itinerary for my recent trip. While I appreciate your efforts in organizing the trip, I found that the itinerary was not as well planned as expected. Firstly, the places to visit in the selected locations seemed poorly organized. Some of the destinations mentioned in the itinerary like Dam in Coorg and Sakleshpura didn't exist or may not be operational and waterfall in Sakleshpura is a private property that we cannot visit without permission. Additionally, the sequence of the places was not ideal. The travel flow felt disjointed, and there were long travel times between certain cities, which could have been optimized to make the trip more enjoyable. I hope this feedback can help improve the planning for future trips, as I believe with better organization and sequencing, the experience would have been much more seamless. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Best regards, Himshita

Gaurav's 4 days trip to Bangalore

Very good and smooth experience. This was my second time booking with Travel Triangle. We traveled to Bengaluru - Coorg - Mysuru with senior citizens. Initially I was worried about planning entire trip comfortable for everyone however I received quotes on time. The travel agent Sree Ganpati Travels arranged everything smoothly. The cab was clean, comfortable, driver was polite and professional. Ms. Ritika from Sree Ganpati Travels provided assistance at every stage and every step of the journey. I highly recommend!
