Friends today's my Travel destination is Nipli Falls A must visit place if you are visiting Jog Falls
Nipli Falls situated near
Jog falls. From Mavingundi circle to Nipli falls is just 8 km driveway. Take
your route towards Siddapura road and look for Adukatta-Halageri road in the
right side, take diversion within a kilometer you'll reach Nipli falls. The
water level is below 1 foot, and rocky surface free from slipperiness, so you
can walk all over the place easily. Best place for children and elders too. There
are no potential risks in this falls.
