Lushington Falls (Unchalli Falls) 116 metres - About 35 km from Jog Falls. Go to Bilgi, 10 km from Siddapur, then trek down 4km or via
Heggarne, a dreamy hamlet in Uttara Kannada district, is just 35km from Siddapur. A further 5km trek from Heggarne through dense forests brings you to the picturesque Unchalli Falls. The sound of the cataract hurtling down the hilly tract shatters the silence of the forests, and the sight of the falls is unforgettable.
Also known as Lushington Falls, these falls were first discovered by J. D. Lushington, who was the Uttara Kannada District Collector of the British Government at that time. The cascade is also called Keppa Joga because of the deafening sound it makes.
