Seeta Falls, Hebri

This is another nice waterfall which is also located deep inside the forest, but not as far as the Onake Abbe falls, you need to trek about 2 kilometres in forest. There is a road till some point and later you need to walk inside forest. The route is quite visible and no guide is needed. This fall is not that deep and you can walk to the point where water drops and take bath there. Water will strike your head like nails with such a force, so be careful when you put your head under a thick water stream.

As applies with the above falls here too you don’t get anything to eat, as it’s inside the forest so better get something to eat. Best time to visit this is around August to December. There is a road leading to this place from Hebri, you can ask someone in hebri to get the route.

Onake Abbe Falls, Someshwara

This falls is deep inside the forest and you need to do some real trekking to reach here. If you start from Udupi you need to go via hebri and reach Someshwara, a small town on the foot of Agumbe ghat, if you are coming via Agumbe then once you get down from Agumbe Ghat is this small town Someshwara where you need to start trekking, ask anyone around they will be knowing from where to start the trekking. This is a place to enjoy on a weekend, go here with all the energy and take some food along as you won’t get anything inside forest.

I am not sure how deep it is in the centre but you can swim and reach to the place where you can take bath under the falls, you have enough space there to sit and relax on the rocks. I suggest you to take extra caution in reaching this point. You can get some guide in Hebri to take you to this falls. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the way inside the forest.
