About the Waterfall
River Falls
Balmuri and Edmuri are twin low-cascade waterfalls located near Srirangapatna on the outskirts of Mysore. Unlike most waterfalls in the region, these flow year-round thanks to a dam upstream, making them a reliable destination any time of year. The gentle cascades are ideal for families with children — the shallow water allows safe wading and play. Located conveniently on the Bangalore–Mysore highway, they make an excellent pit stop or combine well with a Mysore day trip.
