ApsaraKonda Falls is a small waterfall located in the Uttara
Kannada district of Karnataka. It is one of the scenic tourist places near
Murudeshwar.
The water cascades down from a height of 10 meters into a
pond below. The specialty of this pond is that it faces the sea and appears
like a lagoon. People say that Angels used to come from heaven and take bath in
that pond, hence the name Apsara Konda.
Reaching the base of the waterfall is an easy as steps have
been built to make the trail easier for the public. A unique fact about the
waterfall is that the water flows down through the roots of a peepal tree while
descending to the pond below. The pond is very safe for swimming and playing.
Due to its location in the coastal line, the summer over
here is too hot. So the best time to visit Apsarakonda falls is from October to
February.
