Mallalli waterfall in the taluk has come alive following heavy rain in the region. The milky flow of water is attracting tourists from across the district and also the state.

A vast patch of land on the top of the waterfalls helps tourists peek into the water spectacle. The row of peaks of Western Ghats on the otherside, as if kissing the skies, makes for a visual treat. The Pushpagiri shrine enhances the visual treat.

The Kumaradhara river that jumps from a height of 150 foot here, flows towards another small waterfall.

The waterfall, in particular, has been drawing people in hordes. Students and tourists from different parts of the State visiting the waterfall.

The footfall swells during holidays and the available space is too small to hold the crowd. It also exposes lack of basic amenities in the place.

The waterfall is located within a distance of three km from Hanchinahalli on the way to Pushpagiri.

Pushpagiri can be accessed through Shanthalli located at a distance of 22 km from Somwarpet.

If one is lucky, he or she may also behold the sight of rivulets enroute Mallalli.
