Geography & terrain

Hanumanagundi Falls lie in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka, 25 km from the hill town and 45 km from Kudremukh — the waterfall of the Western Ghats, its twin cascades and the forest set in the coffee-country's green near the Mullayanagiri ranges.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the region's forest life — the water of the ghats' streams that feeds the coffee country below, with the falls' place in the local geography; the modern role of the falls as the offbeat stop of the Chikmagalur circuit, with the area's story of the old coffee estates, gives Hanumanagundi its forest-waterfall character.
