History of Abbey Falls

The first British chaplain of Coorg named this place Jessy Falls after his daughter. After the departure of the British, the land came under the Government of India but the place surrounding the Abbey falls were covered in wilderness. Neravanda B. Nanaiah purchased the land from the Government and set up plantations all around the place, and the area has been private property since then. As the forests began to clear up, the natural beauty of the place came forth, exposing the alluring streams and waterfalls to the people.

Tips For Visiting Abbey Falls

1. You can check with the local drivers or if you have hired any car for the extended tour about the water availability and crowd density, in case you have a preference for less crowd or gushing stream of water.

2. Carry water and light food with you as you will not find any on the way once you enter the falls area, and the walk is quite a handful. There are stalls though near the parking as well as the falls.

3. Be on the lookout for leeches as they are common in such wet forests. Wear closed shoes always, which is also safe for all the walking. Carry salt with you to sprinkle on if a leech gets too cosy and does not want to leave your skin.
