BALMURI FALLS


How to Reach: Balmuri falls is on the way to KRS dam around 15 – 20 km from Mysore
. Follow the sinage boards to reach there. Also, one can take right diversion on the Bangalore – Mysore highway after Srirangapatna.

Balmuri Falls is nothing but a creation of the checkdam constructed on river Cauvery here. So do not expect gushing water. It is a good picnic sport and typically better to visit around the winter. One can sit or walk around there. One can enjoy playing in the water. Apart from that there is nothing much to do there. Balmuri falls has featured on quite a few Kannada movies. The Ranganathittu Bird Scantury is nearby(11 KM). One can plan like going to Balmuri falls in the morning, then to Ranganathittu Bird Scantury and lastly to Brindavan garden in the evening.
