Koosalli waterfalls, near Shirooru in Kundapura taluk, is one such fabulous spot. It’s located near Koosalli village and hence the name, though the approach route to the falls is not through Koosalli. A series of six falls (three smaller ones) one above the other in a straight line with superb surroundings make it one of the best waterfalls in the region. Even the path that leads to the falls is unique with 90 minutes of walking on, jumping across and negotiating boulders of all shapes and sizes upstream.
Apart from those living nearby and the trekkers who go in search of such spots, not many are aware of Koosalli falls. It is situated at such a unique location facing the sea, which makes it probably the only waterfall from where a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea is possible.
Shirooru is 76 km from Udupi on NH 17 towards Karwar. Shirooru check-post is another two kms ahead. At the check-post a right diversion for 11 km via Toodalli leads to Kallikone, a locality of two houses. There is KSRTC as well as private bus service up to Toodalli. However, it is advisable to hire an auto from Shirooru check post to Kallikone. From Kallikone a walk of approximately 90 minutes is required to reach the bottom of the sixth waterfall which is about 50 ft tall. Then an ascent of another 35 minutes takes you to the main (first) waterfall.
