Nestled in the thick forests of the Western Ghats in the Uttara Kannada district, Yellapur, at an elevation of 1774 feet, has wonderful waterfalls that gush down the hills into the scenic valleys.
The Satoddi Falls is regarded as one of the most magnificent falls in the state. The way to the falls is quite majestic in its beauty. The Magod Falls is yet another place where nature is at her most beautiful.
Yellapur experiences mild climatic conditions for most part of the year. Except the summer season the place has an excellent climate. Summer days are hot, for temperatures can reach the high thirties. Since the place is located in the Western Ghats, it gets substantial rainfall from the South West Monsoon.
