Chunchi Falls

Chunchi Falls is a seasonal cascade waterfall on the Arkavathi River near Chunchi village in Kanakapura Taluk, Ramanagara District, Karnataka, about 80 km south of Bengaluru. Formed where the river drops over rocky terrain, it is notable for its forested surroundings and views of the valley. The falls flow strongly during and after the monsoon and reduce to a trickle in dry months, attracting day visitors for sightseeing and photography.

Visitors can expect a rocky gorge where the Arkavathi River cascades over boulders into a pool below, surrounded by scrub forest and rocky outcrops. A short walk from the parking area leads to viewpoints above the falls. There are no major built structures at the site; the setting is natural and rugged. Visitors can explore viewpoints, take photographs, and enjoy the forested valley. Water flow is highly seasonal and may be minimal in summer.
