The fall is located near Sirsi in Uttara Kannada District of Karnataka, India. The falls are named for J. D. Lushington, a District Collector for the British Government, who discovered the falls in 1845.[1] Heggarne, a hamlet in Uttara Kannada district, is 33 km from Sirsi. The falls are reached by a {{convert|5|km|mi|adj=on}} trek from Heggarne through thick forest. Here the river makes a cavalcade of water falls and eventually leaps into a steep valley to form a spectacular, picturesque waterfall. The falls are sometimes called Keppa Joga because of the deafening sound they make. How to Reach ? Siddapur is approximately 35KM away from the falls. Heggarne is approximately 5KM away, but you need to trek through a dense forest.[2] See also
The Lushington the falls are named after is Thomas Davies Lushington, the brother of Edmund Law Lushington who married Cecilia Tennyson.
