Apsarakonda or the pond of Apsara’s or celestial beings is true to its name.. Located near Honnavar, Uttarakannada district in the state of Karnataka, it’s a seasonal fall not very big, but with a special beauty. The way to the falls, promoted by tourism department of Karnataka, is marked by boards and milestones for easier access.
There is an ashram, a branch of Ramachandra mutt, by the roadside, and the mud way to the falls and garden start from here.
The ambiance of the area covered by banyan and other big trees is fabulous. The pure water falling 10-15 meters from the top makes one want to jump into the pool and take a bath.
Ideally the best time to visit the waterfall is the monsoon season from June to October when there is plenty of water. But from October to February is also the season.
Apsara konda village is located approximately 6-7 kms from Honnavar. When you travel from Mangalore to Honnavar, after crossing Murudeshwar, a detour from the highway will take you to this waterfall.
