'''Abbey Falls''' (also spelled '''Abbi Falls''' and '''Abbe Falls''') ({{lang-kn|ಅಬ್ಬೆ ಜಲಪಾತ}} {{transl|kn|Abbe jalaphatha}}) is a waterfall in [[Kodagu]], in the [[Western Ghats]] of [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. It is located 8&nbsp;km from the [[Madikeri]], 122&nbsp;km from [[Mysore]], 144&nbsp;km from [[Mangalore]] and 268&nbsp;km from [[Bangalore]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Abbey falls: A tourist's delight|url=http://www.newskarnataka.com/nature/abbey-falls-a-tourists-delight|access-date=26 March 2017|publisher=newskarnataka.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181004053913/https://www.newskarnataka.com/nature/abbey-falls-a-tourists-delight|archive-date=4 October 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />

The waterfall is on the early reaches of the river [[Kaveri]], located between private [[coffee plantation]]s with stocky coffee bushes and spice estates and trees entwined with pepper vines. There is a [[hanging bridge]] constructed just opposite the falls. Flow is much higher during the monsoon season.<ref>{{cite book|title=Tourist Guide to South India|year=2003|publisher=Sura books|isbn=81-7478-175-7|pages=233|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ta6AD7MNFioC&q=cauvery+and+abbey&pg=PA234}}</ref><br />

The falls was earlier called Jessi Falls, named after a British officer's wife. However, the place was a thick jungle back then. Years later, the waterfall was discovered by Mr. Neravanda B. Nanaiah who bought the place from the government and converted it into a coffee and spice plantation, which still surrounds the waterfall today.<br />
