Why is this list so short?
Because we only list waterfalls and river spots we've actually visited or verified with trusted fellow travellers — no scraped listicles. Karnataka's Kaveri belt has more than these four, and we're adding them, plus waterfalls from other states, as we travel further.
Which is best for a family day trip?
Balmuri Falls, near KRS Dam — it's gentle, shallow in most spots, and an easy add-on to a Mysore trip.
Best season to visit?
July to October, right after the monsoon, when the Kaveri is at its fullest without being dangerously high.
