Madikeri Village of South Karnataka. Located Admist the Coffee Plantations,
Abby Falls provides a beautiful resting place in the city. With the
thunderous sound coming from the falls, it attracts all those who come to
MEDIKERI and also those who do not visit this place. The Abbey Falls fall
near the Coffee Plantations and the dense bushes and green tress where the
Kaveri River cascades down the
rock.
The roaring sounds of the falls are so much that they can be heard from a
distance. The water flow is very high during the monsoon season which is
also the best time to see the Abbey Falls. A hanging bridge is there which
passes near the fall and gives a beautiful view of the Abbey Fall. Abbey

cardamom plantations. Thousands voices of the unseen birds too can be heard
in between the sounds of the falling waters.
