Kunchikal Falls

Kunchikal Falls is a virtual mystery compared to most of the other waterfalls along the west coast of India. The falls are found along a large river, below a significant hydroelectric project yet there seems to be very little information about the falls available. What is known is that the river is almost entirely diverted into the adjacent hydroelectric system and the falls, which appear to consist of four distinct tiers over a run of about 1,500 linear feet, rarely flow heavily as a result. Below the falls the river formerly cascaded down a steep gorge filled with huge boulders, which might appear to be part of the falls at cursory glance, but without the full natural volume of the river in place, it's hard to think that was actually the case.
