Trek to hebbe falls from Kemmanna gundi hill station is about 10Km. But now most of the forest surrounding Kemmanna Gundi is covered under Bhadra Reserved Forest, so the Trek route from kemmanna Gundi to Hebbe Falls is closed.
To trek through this route, it is better to take prior appointment or permission from Forest Department (Not sure whether they allow or not).
When we were in College in Chikkamagalur, this Area was still not covered under Reserved forest and we could explore this route and enjoy the nature, and beautiful locations on the way.
But this time again, when all our friends decided to Visit this Hebbe falls, we couldn't take this route. But there is an another route to visit Hebbe falls.(If you are coming from Bangalore, then better take Route through Birur -->Lingadahalli-->Hebbefalls).
You have to hire a local jeep in nearby village in Lingadahalli to reach hebbe falls. They will take you till some place for about 7Km. From there onwards, trek to Hebbe falls for about 3km.
This route also goes through many private coffee estates and You can go till the bottom of the falls and enjoy the falls gushing from a height of 551ft in 2 stages (Chikka Hebbe and Dodda Hebbe).
It is better to visit this place during July-Feb period. During rainy season, be careful about leeches. Also carry first aid box (Lime etc to curb leeches.).
The route from Kemmannagundi to Mullayyanagiri is covered by many mountains and thick forest. This route will give mesmerising landscapes.(See some of the snaps captured in this route)
Last but not the least, keep the environment clean...
