Bandaje Arbi Falls is one of the favorite tourist destinations in the Charmadi forest range of the Western Ghats. It is located almost 350 kilometers from Bangalore in the Dakshin Kannada district in Karnataka.
The magnificent fall flows as a tributary of the Netravathi River from a height of about 200 feet. Among the most majestic natural waterfalls near Bangalore, the Bandaje Arbi waterfalls offer you with unmatched scenic beauty.
You can have the best time of your life spending on the lap of the clouds surrounded by dense green forests. An adventurous trek into the thrilling rainforest is the only way to reach the waterfalls. The nature lovers and photography lovers will be flourished with an abundance of opportunities to capture the picturesque place.
It is one of the breath-taking waterfalls near Bangalore located 25 km from Ujire. When you reach the top of the trekking point of the hill, you will witness Ballalarayana Durga that is almost an hour’s walk from the falls.
The ideal time to visit this place is during the monsoons when the water takes a mighty shape. It is a challenging trek trail through the steep dense forest of about 16 km. You get to sleep under the stars in the basecamp beside the waterfalls. Enjoy the campfire, delicious food, and the starry night amidst the beautiful Bandaje Village.
