Overview

Hebbe falls is one of nature's most enchanting waterfalls amongst the 35 waterfalls of Karnataka, Hebbe falls located 8 kilometers from Kemmannagundi where water rushes in two stages. from a height of 250 feet and is called Dodda Hebbe (Big Falls) and another which rushes from 200 feet high is called Chikka Hebbe (Small Falls). One can take 8 km trek to reach the Hebbe falls. While the Dodda Hebbe is the bigger one, the Chikka Hebbe fall is the smaller one. A dip in the clean, and herbal enriched water can be refreshing. The cascade of water is surrounded by dense forests and coffee plantations. The majestic falls are located inside a coffee estate and can be reached either by a walk or via a four-wheeler (4X4 jeep). The falls are exactly 10 km away from the Karnataka Horticulture Department guest house, which is often used as a major landmark for starting the trail. The other option is to take the local transport from Balavara to reach the trail.

Apart from witnessing the beauty of the falls, another advantage of the road trip is enjoying the scenic beauty of the private coffee estates. While trekking, it's easy to get lost as the trail gets unidentified at several spots. It's advisable to follow the electric wiring fence to reach the endpoint. The hiking route covers a lush mossy pond and three enchanting streams which give anyone enough reasons to pick the trekking option to reach the Hebbe Falls. The light brown mud with dews settled on it makes the perfect trail for trekkers. the best time to visit Hebbe falls is early winter when you can take advantage of the various flora and fauna nearby Hebbe Falls.
