Somwarpet yet to find place in tourism map

However, the beauty of the nature can be enjoyed at its best in Somwarpet, which many are reportedly not aware. However, it has not been developed and is less known place.  A travel from Somwarpet-Beedalli-Kumaralli-Subramanya will make one realise the importance of these places in tourism map. Once the road works are completed, then it will become a tourist spot on its own.

Moreover, it is the nearest route to reach Subramanya for those who come from Mysore, Bangalore and Hassan. The route can become nature’s paradise for the nature lovers. Though the road work commenced several years ago, it was stopped for various reasons. As the road passes through the Western Ghat, the authorities are waiting for the clearance from the Ministry of Environment to continue the road work.

Mallalli falls is situated in between Somwarpet and Subramanya. This is one of the beautiful falls in Kodagu.  However, there was no proper road to reach the falls in the past. Recently, a road was laid and steps have been created to reach the falls. However, not much has been spoken about this falls.

A proposal of Rs one crore has been sent to the government for the development of Mallalli falls. The proposal is yet to be accepted.  The historical Honnammana kere is situated six kilometres from Somwarpet, which can be developed as a tourist spot. Pushpagiri is known for trekking. However, there are vehicles to reach the spot.  Makkalagudi betta, Kotebetta, Malemalleshwara, Doddakallubettu are inviting tourists.
