Bear Shola Falls

The falls offer best views just after monsoon during the months of September and October. You don't find any water in the summer season. This is one of the top places for sightseeing in Kodaikanal and one of the best waterfalls in Kodaikanal.

The approach road to the falls is bumpy and hilly.  The pathway from the main road follows through dense forest amidst serene location. Apart from the majestic waterfall, the walk through the forest itself is a wonderful experience. Height of the falls is about 40 feet and the water drops into a small pool. Swimming here is safe if the water flow is not fierce. This place demands a 10 minute walk from the road point. The waterfall attracts a large number of visitors during the monsoon season. There is a shop at the entrance of the path to the fall that sells tea, water and snacks.
