~ 🏞️ Shivasamudra Waterfalls ~

A day trip to Shivasamudra on the Kaveri, 6 June 2026 — the first weeks of the monsoon, so the falls were running as a dozen thin streams down the rock rather than one wall of water. Six frames of the falls, two of the river upstream.

Several streams of white water cascading down a grey granite cliff at Shivasamudra, surrounded by dense green forest
Wide view of the Shivasamudra falls from the viewpoint railing — the cascading rock face set into a forested hillside under a white sky
A huge sloping face of bare dark rock with a single waterfall spilling into a dark green plunge pool at its foot

The main cascade seen past the green steel post and wire of the viewpoint railing
The forested gorge under towering white monsoon clouds and blue sky, the falls and plunge pool small in the distance
The Kaveri river upstream of the falls — wide calm water lined with coconut palms and green banks under a cloudy sky
Tree-covered islands in the Kaveri river with a low hill behind them and heavy white clouds overhead
