Balmuri Falls

Balmuri Falls is a small man-made cascade on the Cauvery River at Balmuri near Srirangapatna in Mandya District, Karnataka, about 15 km from Mysuru. Created by a check dam, it forms a stepped, shallow waterfall popular as a picnic and wading spot. Surrounded by coconut groves and agricultural fields, it is often visited together with nearby Brindavan Gardens and KRS Dam, especially during monsoon when water flow increases.

Visitors can expect a wide, low stepped cascade formed by a check dam across the Cauvery River, with shallow water flowing over concrete steps and rocks. The setting is open and rural, surrounded by coconut palms and fields. Visitors typically wade in ankle to knee-deep water, sit on the steps, take photographs and picnic along the banks. There are no high drops; the area is a flat, accessible riverfront with small food stalls and parking nearby.

Balmuri Falls is not a natural waterfall but a man-made cascade formed by a check dam built across the Cauvery River for irrigation and water regulation downstream of the Krishna Raja Sagara (KRS) Dam
