Here is a list of the top 7 waterfalls in Kerala, with details of the weather and their locations.
1. Athirappilly waterfalls:
Athirappilly Falls is located in the Athirappilly Panchayat in the Chalakudy Taluk of Kerala’s Thrissur District. They are also known as the Niagra Falls of India due to their great and spectacular look. Athirappilly, located on the Chalakudy river, is one of the biggest waterfalls in Kerala, reaching about 80 feet in height. The greatest time to visit Athirappilly is during the rainy season, from June to September, when the water level is at its highest. The place has appeared in a number of South Indian and North Indian films, including Dil Se, Raavan, and Nayak.
2. Palaruvi waterfalls:
The Palaruvi waterfalls were given the name Palaruvi, which means “milk stream,” due of its smooth yet rough flow of water, which nearly seems white, like milk. Palaruvi Waterfalls, located in Kolam district, are delightfully eerie and mysterious when visited on a less crowded day. The falls are also located along the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. Palaruvi Waterfalls, at a height of 300 feet, might be your next wholesome picnic location.
3. Thoovanam waterfalls:
Thoovanam Waterfalls are located in Idukki’s Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. After walking about 4 kilometres in the wildlife sanctuary, you may reach this incredibly exquisite work of art 60 kilometres from Munnar. The waterfalls appear to be as serene as heaven, and you can feel your tensions drain from your body as you stand in front of them, water beneath your feet.
4. Meenmutty waterfalls (Wayanad):
Meenmutty waterfalls are situated 29 km away from Kalpetta in Wayanad District. The surroundings are dark, serene, and the waterfalls are hidden away in the rainforest. After trekking for 2 km in the forest, you can find Meenmutty. It is dangerous to visit the location during rain since the rocks and slippery and the flow of water is rough, so it is better to plan for months following the monsoon.
5. Chethalayam Waterfalls:
Chethalayam Waterfalls are located in the Kidanganad district of Chethalayam. The waterfalls are naturally seasonal, and the ideal time to come is during the monsoon season. Chethalayam waterfalls are cold, dark, and tranquil since they are underappreciated by tourists. This makes this spot ideal for spending quality time with your pals.
6. Soochipara waterfalls:
Soochipara waterfalls, also known as Sentinel rock waterfalls, are located near Vellarimala, Wanayad, and have a very defined and streamlined flow. The water seemed almost too beautiful to touch. The waterfalls are really three-tiered, which adds a scenic aspect to your visit. The water from the falls eventually goes into the Chulika and Chaliyar rivers. Soochipara Waterfalls are surrounded by deep and lush forest, which adds to their splendour.
7. Lakkam waterfalls:
Lakkam Waterfalls are situated near Marayoor in the Idukki district. Idukki is 5 mins away from Munnar. Since the waterfalls are based in Eravikulam National Park, strict safety precautions are applied in case of heavy climatic conditions. Therefore, the national park might not be open for tourists during problematic rains. All things considered after the monsoon season is the best time to visit.
