The story

Hebbe Falls is a waterfall in Karnataka, about 10 kilometres from the hill station of Kemmangundi. It stands within a coffee estate, so the plantation itself forms the setting of the falls.

The water comes down from a height of 551 feet, and it does so in two separate stages rather than a single unbroken drop. The two parts carry their own names: Dodda Hebbe, meaning the big falls, and Chikka Hebbe, meaning the small falls. Its position is recorded at roughly 13.5 degrees north and 75.7 degrees east.
