| Apsarakonda Falls |
Apsarakonda falls is on a Hill containing many small and big caves, Waterfall with beautiful temples. This place is not yet known to outsiders and that is one of the main reason it looks like untouched beauty.
How to reach:
- From Honnavar there is bus facility to Apsarakonda but not frequently. Better to hire a vehicle if you are planning to visit in public transport because days are long when it's hotter and you're waiting for a bus at these places. There is a signboard after Kasarkod to reach Apsarakonda. You have to take turn from this signboard and the road which leads to Apsarakonda. Road leading to this place is under construction. Currently there is a mud road heading to ApsaraKonda.
- If you are planning on public transport then, From Honnavar catch a bus to society stop (Kasarkod beach/ ApsaraKonda stop) and traverse 1KM to reach this place.
- From Bangalore it takes 10 hours to reach Honnavar. From Bangalore you can catch KSRTC Volvo buses for a decent journey.
Located just 5 kms from Honnavar is a small attractive waterfall known as ApsaraKonda, which means the pond of an Apsara or a nymph. Here the water falling from a height of 10 meters has formed a small waterfall. A high hill, a fine view of the sea and the sunset from the hill and a huge natural cave are the attractions of the place. It is a visual treat to watch the sun go down in the Arabian Sea from the Apsara Konda hillock. The place truly exudes heavenly beauty.
