Honnamana Halla Waterfall

Honnamma Falls is a lovely waterfall located in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka. The waterfall is situated at a distance of about 25 km from Kemmanagundi and about 1 km from Baba Budan Giri Dattatreya Peetha. Nestled within a dense forest area the waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural beauties of Karnataka.

The lovely waterfall has a height of about 30 feet. It is a wonderful spot and offers fascinating views of Baba Budan Giri Hills.

The waterfall is also known as Manikyadhara falls, which means gentle as a pearl. This is because the water here falls as gently as a pearl drop. Legend also has it that the name Manikyda Dhara for the waterfall has been derived from the name of the saint Manikyda Dhara.

An interesting fact about the waterfall is that it has never dried up to date. Even in the dry summer season the sparkling white water of the falls can be seen falling incessantly. This makes it one of those waterfalls that can be visited throughout the year.
