About 32 km away from Yellapur in Uttara Kannada District close to Sirsi, several unknown streams converge near Kallaramane Ghat and Plunge from a height of about 15m to create a picturesque waterfall and then joins the backwaters of Kodasalli dam built across Kali River. We can also view the coconut tree tops that went down under back waters. This is situated in the midst of dense forests. The forest department were building a pergola for tourist to rest as of December 2006.

[edit] Best season
Winter, from early November to end of February.
Avoid rainy season, when hostile terrain and blood-sucking leeches make these falls inaccessible.
[edit] Food
There is only one hotel near the waterfalls which opens around 9am and you should order in advance to get food early enough. Better to fill yourself at Yellapur and carry sufficient food and water.
[edit] Roads
The roads are very risks with steep hills. Its a treking place .
[edit] How to reach
From Yellapura, take highway towards Hubballi (Hubli) [opposite direction of Magod Falls] and then turn left towards Ganesh Gudi (do not confuse this for Ganesh Gudi near Dandeli) immediately after the petrol bunk. An arch at the beginning of this road is a good landmark for the road to Sathodi Falls.
Roads are alright, with both good and bad patches. Distance between Ganesh Gudi and Sathodi Falls is around 10 kilometers. After Ganesh Gudi, it is just forest and forest and then comes the beautiful view of the backwater of Kodasalli dam built across river Kali.
The alternate routes; 1. Take a bus up to Barballi, and from there it is trek of about 10 km. 2. Go up to Dehalli - Kattige via Ganesh Gudi, wherein a kutcha road winds all the way to the falls. Bikes are also available for rent at Dehalli, which is a common means of transport in this region.
