Thottikallu Waterfall

Road Trip To Thottikallu Waterfall 

There are several waterfalls around you and its look more beautiful in the monsoon. So today we are visiting one of kind waterfall called Thottikallu fall located nearby 40 km from city Bangalore. If you staying in Bangalore then 40 km distance is not much far, So we decided to go on the bike.

In The Journey

We started our journey at 10 am from Koramangala towards Kanakpura road. Because of Sunday, less traffic was on road. We stopped near Yelachenahalli metro station for a breakfast. After having a couple of idli’s and chutney we continue our journey towards Thottikallu fall. Now distance was just a 15 km. Shower also started. We crossed the NICE road flyover and get a chance to enjoy the bike ride from the traffic of Bangalore. The road condition is pretty good and you can see the Art of Living ashram on our right side. After a few kilometers, we took a left turn to Thottikallu. It is a single road but in condition is good. On the way, we can experience the beauty of villages fully green farm both side and small homes inside it. The road is very safe and we see the number bike going towards the waterfall. Distance from the main road (Kanakpur road) is nearby 7 km only. Finally, we reached to our destination at 11:30 am and we have seen bikes and cars parked beside the road. We also park our bikes at the same place and one villager told us not to park here because it is not safe, some people are stolen petrol and helmets so instead of the park here go to just 100 meters ahead of where you will get paid parking which is safe.

At The Thottikallu Fall

We parked our vehicles in a paid parking area with the parking fees Rs 30 per bike. I asked security person where is the waterfall and he replied in Kannada “ Mundde left” means go ahead and take left. After 4-5 minutes walk, we have seen many people including corporate team, families, college students going that way. Now rain also taking a speed and we reach our destination. There was a one small historically pond with overflowing and some people taking photos and selfies inside the pond. One small wall inside the pond so you can easily cross the pond and go another side where a small temple was there. After taking photos and selfies we proceed to waterfall. 

Enjoy The Place

We’ve arrived at the beautiful Thottikallu waterfall. The water is falling from the height of 50 meters approx. People are standing down and enjoy the bath under the waterfall. We are waiting to get a chance go under the waterfall for photos but the already huge crowd was there. After some time we go and stand under the waterfall and enjoying the bath and shower. Some people are having fun above the waterfall. God’s only know how they reached there? Now we got the path to climb the hill and reach on the roof the of the waterfall. The place is like plain ground full of rock. The place is very beautiful but that much slippy. After spending some time and some photoshoot we left the or parking area. The route is very difficult to climb and more difficult to descend.

When Leaving From The Waterfall

Now the time is 1:00 pm and its time to have a tasty lunch. On the way to Bangalore, there are lots of dhabas where you can enjoy the authentic south Indian food. After finishing lunch we left to Koramangala. Rain also stop now and riding in pretty weather is another wonderful experience. We reached home around 5:00 pm.

It is an amazing experience to visit Thottikallu Fall in the rainy season. Finally, I can say its a good place for a one-day bike trip near Bangalore.
