5 Most Beautiful Waterfalls In Tamilnadu

Basically, it’s just two gases- they call it hydrogen and oxygen but when they combine and begin to flow, magic can happen. And if they fall from a great height, instead of doing anything drastic like committing suicide, they are actually delighting the minds of humans. Tamilnadu, with its amazing landscape, is also home to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in which the interplay of the two gases weave magic that pulls tourists in large numbers. Here are the most beautiful waterfalls in Tamilnadu to visit this season.

# Monkey Waterfalls

Plunging from a height of 60 ft, water looks like a broad liquid wall more than anything. However, it is possible to take a bath at the bottom of the falls though it could be dangerous during the monsoons. Situated at a distance of 67 kms from Coimbatore, the Monkey Waterfalls is quite a spot for a nice day out.

# Hogenakkal Falls

When something’s called the ‘Niagara of India’ you know that it’s not an average fall that you are going to walk towards. With the frothy white water swirling in a pool that’s beautifully violent, the Hogenakkal Falls doesn’t disappoint you by setting up over-expectations. Situated around 335 km from Chennai, the Hogenakkal has 14 channels with the plunge ranging between 15 and 65 ft.

# Siruvani Waterfalls

Also known as the Kovai Kutralam Falls, these falls are situated in the Siruvani Hills of Tamil Nadu. The beautiful falls are to be found inside a dense forest and to reach them, a 4 km trek from the nearest road point is called for. But the fact that it’s just 36 km away from the Coimbatore Railway Station means that it’s not all that inaccessible for you to enjoy.

# Silver Cascade

The plunge of Silver Cascade is 150 ft but it’s unsuitable for swimming. The falls are easily accessible from the main road, making this ideal for a family outing.

# Bear Shola Falls

A waterfall from the top of which bears used to drink water might have a fairy-tale like charm but that’s not all that makes the Bear Shola Falls so alluring. Just 3 km from Kodaikanal, it’s situated inside a Reserve Forest. The pathway from the road point to the falls leads you through forest the sights and sounds of which are a balm for the weary urbanite soul. The sight of the falls that greet you after the walk through the wilderness is synonymous to having a pleasant and welcoming presence at the end of a long journey. The best time to visit the falls is the monsoon.
