Chunchi Falls, Kanakapura

Chunchi Falls is on the river Arkavathi and located in Kanakapura district, Karnataka. This place is around 90 KM from Bangalore and very near to Sangama & Mekedatu, so you can visit both the places one after another. My suggestion is to visit Chunchi falls while returning from Sangama and Mekedatu.
