The name Arasinagundi comes from Kannada "arasina" meaning yellowish and "gundi" meaning pool. When the cascading water hits the rocky base, it creates a beautiful yellowish tint, which is how it got its unique name. What makes it special is the stunning rainbow that forms when sunlight hits the falls at just the right angle. Completely untouched, no commercialisation, no crowd, just raw Western Ghats beauty at its finest!
