Geography & terrain
Hebbe Falls lie in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka, 10 km from the Kemmanagundi road and 45 km from Chikmagalur — the waterfall of the coffee country, its two drops and the forest set in the ghats' green above the Bhadra's catchment.
History & culture
The falls' story runs with the region's coffee-estate history — the falls of the ghats' streams within the estate country, with the area's story of the British-era plantations; the falls' modern role as the offbeat stop of the Chikmagalur circuit, with the jeep track and the forest walks, gives Hebbe its coffee-country waterfall character.
