Aerial view of the Urava estate: cabins on forest terraces, winding paths, the waterfall and its pool

From Bengaluru

A getaway from Bengaluru to a private waterfall estate

Urava is about 9 to 10 hours from Bengaluru by road. That makes it a long-weekend trip, best with two or three nights so the journey is worth it.

01

Drive or take the bus

Drive about 9 to 10 hours, or take an overnight bus to Kumily, 40 minutes away, or to Kattappana, 3 km from the property.

02

Arrive to a private estate

Check-in is from 2 pm. The waterfall is open only to Urava guests, and you can book the whole estate for your group.

03

Good for groups

Share the drive, split the cost and fill the villa and cabins together.

Do we get the property to ourselves?

If you book all three cottages and the villa, yes: the whole 8-acre estate is yours. Otherwise you share it only with guests of the other units. The waterfall is open only to Urava guests, never to day visitors.

How many people can stay?

Up to 24 adults across the estate. Each of the three cottages takes up to 4 adults and 3 children, and the villa takes up to 12 adults and 6 children.

How do we get there from Bengaluru or Chennai?

By car it is about 9 to 10 hours from either city. You can also take an overnight bus to Kumily (40 minutes away) or Kattappana (3 km away). The property is 250 metres off the State Highway. See the How to reach page for trains and flights.
