* There are no sign boards, no proper routes, no barricades, no nothing. Keep track of your walking route.
* Be careful and never go closer to the cliff edge.
* Many people sit at the edge of the cliff. Very risky. Do not do it.
* While we were there late evening, it suddenly started raining, we had to run back to the car park.
* Rocks were skidding, we kind of lost way, there were only ~10-20 people around who disappeared too.
Travel Tips
* It is a narrow road from Bangalore. Start say by 7 AM, and have a steady and peaceful drive.
* There are a lot of rough rocks to go near the water fall, so watch-out when you get in.
* We carried our food from home, ate en route.
* Carry drinking water, and umbrella also if needed.

Note: This
is a series where I post details and tips about some day-trip
locations around Bangalore. You would note that, the date of our visit
to some of these places was quite some time back, so some of the detail
need not be currently valid. However, I think the major part of the
information will still be useful to readers. Do check around by phone or other means about these places to know the latest details and then make your plan. Enjoy your
travel. Have fun.
