Abbey Falls
About
Abbey Falls, nestled in Coorg, is a refreshing retreat surrounded by coffee plantations and lush greenery. The cascading water drops from a height of about 70 feet, creating a soothing roar that fills the air. A small bridge near the falls offers a close view of the gushing waters, making it a popular spot for visitors to take photographs or simply admire the natural beauty. The area is vibrant with mist rising from the falling water, adding a magical touch to the surroundings. Tall trees and thick bushes form a natural boundary, while the pathways leading to the falls wind through the plantations, offering glimpses of nature’s charm. Monsoon season adds to the allure, with the falls swelling in volume and creating a more dramatic sight. A visit here is incomplete without pausing to enjoy the peace offered by the serene environment. Families, couples, and friends often spend time near the bridge, soaking in the cool atmosphere and watching the water flow into the river below. Abbey Falls stands out as a simple yet stunning destination, where nature’s beauty speaks through the sound of water, the colors of foliage, and the joy of being close to something so pure and refreshing.
