Jomlu theertha falls,Hanumanagundi Falls

By Ashwini, on January 29th, 2010%

Jomlu teertha is a small water fall created by River Seethanadi. It is around 35km from Udupi and 10km from Hebri. Teertha means holy water in kannada.
Water falls from a small height and you can take a nice bath.
Ideal picnic spot and a weekend gateway from Udupi.There are buses to hebri from Udupi and from there you need to take a private vehicle.No food is available on the spot and you definitely need to carry some food.We spent a whole day there took bath,had lunch and did fishing also :) .
My dad had an interesting conversation with the local guy there ..
Dad – why very less crowd nowadays ?
Local guy – Not many come here because of Naxalites.
Dad – Oh is it ?
Local guy – Yes they are everywhere. Usually they don’t do anything to local people but they target tourists for money etc.
Dad – Yeah, if they started troubling the locals, they wouldn’t be able to exist here at all !!! [ little sarcastic ] :)
