Apsarakonda,Karnataka,India

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.
