Reaching the waterfall involves navigating a steep and broken muddy road, approximately 3.5 kilometers long. Typically, jeeps are available to transport visitors from the main road to the falls. The waterfall, aptly named Buttermilk Falls, is a delightful sight and the water is refreshingly cold. I've visited this waterfall numerous times because it allows you to get up close, touch, and play in the water. Remarkably, the waterfall is situated on private property, and the owner generously allows free access to tourists, without any restrictions. On my recent visit, I noticed they were even widening the pathway to facilitate vehicle movement. Accessing the waterfall can be a bit challenging. You can opt to trek a distance of approximately 3-5 kilometers or hire a jeep at the main gate, which costs around 800 INR for a round trip for a family. Although the jeep ride can be a bit bumpy, it's generally manageable for kids and elderly couples. However, I would advise caution to those with back problems. The jeep can't reach the waterfall directly; it stops about 100 meters away, requiring a short walk to reach the falls.
A decent waterfall where you could relax for a while or enjoy jumping in and getting wet. You will most certainly have to opt for a Jeep as it's a long stretch of Off-roading. They usually charge 800-1000 per vehicle which can accommodate around 8 people. I traveled solo and so it cost me Rs200. And since I was solo, I had to wait quite a bit, like 15 minutes which is justified. You would most certainly live this waterfall if you visit it on a weekday.
To reach this waterfall itself was a great experience by traveling off road special vehicle (Mahindra Thar). Roads were not meant for walking. So, there were off-road vehicles. Coming to the waterfall it was really good. We had bath here, it was very cold . Better bring dresses here so, after bath you can change wet clothes. Better not go in monsoon. Roads will be slippery and we will never know when water will be more and maybe colored water will come in waterfall. It's really Good place to visit !!! Have a great time ahead.
Visit this place if you are in Chikmagalur. This place might not be worth a visit in summers due to low water in the waterfall. Jeep ride is thrilling and adventurous. However I do not suggest it to people who have weak bones or delicate health. Also one need to take all the precautions while riding else there is a chance of injury. Catch the Jeep at the Jeep point they charge 600 rs per ride (to and fro) and issue a token. The token need to be kept safe . You can show the token during return and chose to ride back in any of the jeeps. Waterfalls is a quick 5 minute walk from the Jeep drop point. Waterfall is Serene, pristine , beautiful and refreshing. But the crowd spoils the ambience and makes it look like an amusement park sadly. Better visit on a weekday when the crowd is minimal. However it is still worth a visit. Please do carry some water bottle and snacks. There are no shops next to the waterfalls. Kulfi was available near the waterfalls.
A beautiful waterfall. This would surpass your expectations. Best place to enjoy with friends, family or even alone. Jhari falls is located a few km from the entry point of mullayanagiri hills. You can feel so alive during this drive too. A lush green nature, quite mesmerizing drive. The only way to reach falls from the main road is by Jeep. Note there are no entry fees to falls but you have to pay for the Jeep drive. Minimum they expect 4 people to accommodate in the Jeep with a total cost of 800 per 4 persons. It will take a minimum of 10-15 minutes to reach the falls. The roads will be very hard to even walk. You will feel like going in a roller coaster with so many ups and downs. But worth it for the drive. You can spend how much time you want. The good part is there is no time frame. They will issue a token for your return, during your return you can take any jeep, give that token. They will take you to the entry point. This is quite a good approach. The falls are very gigantic. There are multiple levels of falls. You can even reach there, there is a path over to reach. But it's quite risky. Keep your gadgets and electronic items while playing in falls. Best place to visit and must visit. This review is completely based on my experience.
To reach this destination, you have two options: you can either embark on a scenic hike or opt for the convenience of a 4x4 jeep ride. The jeep service comes with seasonal charges, which may vary. The cost is currently set at 200 per person. Please note that jeeps are not the best choice for individuals with back issues, as the ride might be uncomfortable. Once you arrive at the destination, you'll have the opportunity to experience the refreshing joy of being drenched under the stunning waterfall, providing the perfect backdrop for capturing beautiful photographs.
Man this was such a treat! The place was incredibly beautiful, in-fact I'm out of words! So I headed to this place after visiting Z point, on reaching the location had to board a jeep. The drivers charge Rs800 for one jeep, irrespective of the number of people. Max capacity 6. The riders were pure professionals, the jeep ride itself was a fun off roading experience. Once we reached the bottom, had to walk for 2 mins and alas the beauty! Checkout the pictures
We need to get a jeep to reach waterfall which is 3.5 km away from the main road, that jeep ride is not at all easy one for the old people. After jeep ride 5 min walk you can see the beautiful waterfall. It's like two step waterfall you can go to the first layer also.. but it's risky to shower over there. Be aware of leech , everywhere you can find leech. Nearby the waterfall no restroom or no dress changing room also nothing to eat, so plan accordingly. It's crowded but good place to take some pictures. Jeep ride is 800rs and they allowed 6 persons, but nothing in organised manner. Enjoy the experience
