About Vibhuti Falls
Vibhuti Falls is a picturesque waterfall tucked away in the forests of Uttara Kannada. Located in the Achave area of Ankola taluk, the waterfall gets its name from the limestone geology of the region — the water originates from limestone formations near Yana. The falls cascade through the forest into natural pools, creating a refreshing setting for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The combination of forest trails, rocky surroundings and flowing water makes Vibhuti Falls a popular addition to a Yana excursion.
Best time to visit
