Geography & terrain

Vibhuti Falls lies in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka, 15 km from Chikmagalur and 5 km from Mullayanagiri — the forest falls of the region, its ghat road, the pools and the viewpoints set on the Baba Budan range.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the 20th-century road era — the forest falls of the 20th-century-era ghat road and the 19th-century-era coffee life of the Baba Budan hills, with the falls' modern role as the offbeat stop of the Chikmagalur circuit and the home of the pools and the viewpoints and the 2000s-era trails; the falls' history of the 1990s-era road works and the forest paths, gives Vibhuti its forest character.
