The Kunchikal Falls, the highest waterfall in India, is located in which state?
Karnataka
Kunchikal Falls is located near Agumbe in Shivamogga (Shimoga) district of Karnataka, in the Western Ghats. It is formed by the Varahi River and falls about 455 m in a series of cascades, which is why it is often cited as the highest waterfall in India.
Other famous Karnataka falls include Jog Falls on the Sharavathi River. Kerala (Athirappilly), Tamil Nadu (Hogenakkal, Courtallam) and Maharashtra have notable waterfalls, but Kunchikal is not in any of these states.
Hence, the answer is Karnataka.
