Jomlu Theertha is a picturesque waterfall created by the River Sita, located in the Someshwara Wildlife Range near Belve village in the Udupi district of Karnataka. Situated about 40 km from the town of Udupi, this 20-foot waterfall is the second waterfall formed by the River Sita, following Koodlu Theertha Falls.
Highlights and Experience
The waterfall is nestled amidst lush natural beauty, featuring cool waters, the chirping of birds, and a serene atmosphere. It is an ideal spot for weekend getaways, picnics, and nature photography. Visitors can also enjoy fishing in the river using their own rods.
Travel Guide and Safety Tips
The best time to visit is during the post-monsoon season from November to April when the weather is pleasant. Monsoon Visits: Visiting during the rainy season is discouraged because the area becomes inundated with leeches, and the surrounding rocks become dangerously slippery. Safety Precautions: Swimming is strictly prohibited due to strong undercurrents, and visitors are advised to exercise caution and carry their own food and water as there are no shops nearby.
