Malalli Falls is situated in the northern region of Kodagu District, Karnataka. It's 26 kms from the town of Somwarpet, at the foot of the Pushpagiri Hills. The Kumaradhara River is the main watercourse for this waterfall. The Kumaradhara later flows through Kukke Subrahmanya and merges with the Netravati River at Uppinangadi, which then empties into the Arabian Sea at Mangalore.
