Abbey Falls (also spelled Abbi Falls and Abbe Falls) is a waterfall in
Kodagu, in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India. It is located 8 km from the Madikeri, 122 km from Mysore, 144 km from Mangalore and 268 km from Bangalore.[1]
The waterfall is on the early reaches of the river
hanging bridge constructed just opposite the falls. Flow is much higher during the monsoon season.[2]
The falls was earlier called Jessi Falls, named after a British officer's wife. However, the place was a thick jungle back then. Years later, the waterfall was discovered by Mr. Neravanda B. Nanaiah who bought the place from the government and converted it into a coffee and spice plantation, which still surrounds the waterfall today.
