30 Karnataka Waterfalls visited in 2021

As I was preparing a post detailing my travel summary for 2021, I realized that I have visited lots of local waterfalls. Thus I felt the list of waterfalls I visited warrant a standalone post. So here it is.

Except a few minor ones, I have written detailed post already about each of the waterfalls visited. You can find the link over their names.

Visiting waterfalls is a seasonal affair. Before monsoon they will be dry, if we visit during peak monsoon we have to deal with lots of leeches, rain and other inconveniences. October-December is the best season during which we should visit as many waterfalls as possible. 

Waterfalls are also a matter of how many kms you are willing to trek and how much entry fee you are willing to cough up.

I do have a huge wish list of waterfalls to visit-hopefully for 2022.
