Ermayee is a resplendent waterfall around 15km from Ujire near a village called Kajoor.
3 of us pushed ourselves out of bed, early morning at 4AM, on a fine Saturday in December 2013 and set on our trail from Mangalore. Our plan was to visit Kukke and Dharmasthala Temples first and then explore the falls.
After taking blessings at famous temples of South Canara, we started towards our actual destination at 2PM. A left diversion at Somanatadka on Ujire to Charmady Highway and around 18km journey will lead you to the falls. Along the way we could see the beauty of the Kudemukh range at a distance.
Nobody can easily spot the mud road which leads to the falls on the right side of the main road. We were not exceptional, and went around 1 km ahead of the mud road and then again came back. From there, it's hardly 3KM distance. One could ride half way with the difficulties and then have to cover the rest of the path on foot.
As I was walking got dismayed to see a fall, which was not thicker than my little finger. Oops! We rode more than 200Km since morning and ended up seeing this. No, I could barely hear another waterfall sound and increased my speed towards that direction. 5 minutes walk and I was in front of the howling Ermayee falls.
Ermayee fall runs down from the space between the gigantic rocks in two steps about 80m height, creating a deep pond in front of the fall.
Surroundings of the falls looked very clean as it was less explored by people. Before jumping into the water we thought of quickly exploring more of the falls, as we could see a trail near fall which lead towards the top of the falls. We slowly crawled up to the top of the falls and amazed to see another two step falls there.
Since surroundings were little scary there, we quickly had a glimpse and came down to the bottom of the falls to refresh ourselves in the water.
Spending an hour or more in the water we headed back to Mangalore with divine and accomplished feelings.
