Lushington Falls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unchalli Falls which is also called as Lushington Falls is a waterfall created by a 116 meter drop in the Aghanashini river. The falls are located 30 kilometers from Sirsi, a town in the Uttara Kannada District of the Indian state of Karnataka. The falls are named for J. D. Lushington, a District Collector for the British Government, who discovered the falls in 1845.
The falls are reached by a five kilometer trek from Heggarne village through thick forest. Here the river makes a cavalcade of water falls and eventually leaps into steep valley to form a spectacular, picturesque waterfall. The falls are sometimes called Keppa Joga because of the deafening sound they make.
