A hanging bridge opposite the falls offers a perfect photo opportunity and panoramic views.

Raja’s Seat, meaning Seat of the King, is a beautiful garden with a spectacular view of the valleys and sunsets. It was once the favorite spot of Kodava kings to watch the sunrise and sunset with their queens. The well-maintained park with musical fountains and seasonal flowers is a must-visit during your Madikeri trip.
