Kosalli Falls - also known as Kusalli, Abbigudde, Abbigundi, Gudanagundi, Boorlagundi and Koosalli Falls
The only waterfall that lures me to visit again and again is the majestic Kosalli falls. It takes different shapes in different seasons just like its various names. In my coastal region it is called Kosalli falls. People living above the slopes of Western Ghats (malnad region) like Sagara and Shimoga call it Gudana Gundi. Others simply, Shirur falls, since the nearest prominent place is Shirur.
The waterfall can be reached from Shirur (17 Kms east), Udupi (95 Kms north), Murdeshwar (45 Kms south). From Sagar one can reach the top of waterfall. After Shiroor till Tudalli the tar-road is manageable. Next 4-5 Kms till the last house of Kusalli is mud road which is a bit difficult during rainy season.
We visited the place on 28.07.2012.
