    The river Varahi takes its birth at a height of 730 m in the WesternGhats
    at Hebbagilu, near Agumbe in Shimoga District. It joins the Arabian Sea
    near Kundapur. After a 25 Km initial run, this swift andpowerful river falls
    455 m in cascades to form the bellowing Kunchikal falls.Varahi is
    Karnataka’s first underground powerhouse – a key milestone in the
    corporation history of KPCL.Initially conceived as a surface power house
    at the blueprint stage, Varahi was later converted into an
    undergroundPowerhouse. The decision for the change-over was based
    on three key parameters : technical, economical and our concern for
    environment protection. Stage I of the Varahi Hydro Electric Project has
    a total installed capacity of 230MW and Stage II of the Varahi Hydro
    Electric Project has a total installed capacity of 230 MW contributing
    1100 MUannually. This consists of 4 x 115 MW Generating Units
    at Varahi underground Powerhouse and two 4.5 MW units inthe power
    house at the Mani Dam site.
