About the Waterfall
Located near Anekal, roughly 40 kilometres from Bengaluru, Muthyala Maduvu is ensconced within a deep valley. The moniker 'Pearl Valley' reflects the visual effect of water droplets shattering against the base rocks, resembling scattered pearls. Unlike more rugged falls, it features basic tourism infrastructure including a Lord Shiva temple and a government-run canteen. While the waterfall height is approximately 299 feet relative to the valley floor, the actual drop of the stream is modest. The site is a haven for local birdlife.
