Benne Hole Falls

Benne Hole Falls is a natural waterfall located near Kasage village, about 36 kilometres from Sirsi in Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka. Formed by the Aghanashini River as it descends through the dense forests of the Western Ghats, the falls drops in multiple stepped cascades. Surrounded by lush evergreen forest, it is known for its scenic setting, seasonal flow and trekking approach, attracting nature lovers and photographers, especially during the monsoon and post-monsoon months.

Visitors can expect a forested setting in the Western Ghats reached by a short trek of about 500 metres to 1 kilometre from the roadside parking area through areca plantations and evergreen forest. The falls appears as stepped cascades flowing over rocky tiers into a pool below, with viewpoints from the top and base. The area is largely undeveloped with no shops, offering quiet nature observation, photography and seasonal water flow best seen after rains.
