Valparai tourist place
Cascades tumbling through boulders in one of the rainiest corners of the Western Ghats.
Chinnakallar Falls is a series of cascades over boulders in dense, very high-rainfall forest roughly 15–20 km from Valparai. A short walk leads to the falls. It is at its best from July to November, when flow is strong; paths are slippery and leeches are common in the wet months. Allow 45–60 minutes and stay on the path.
The Chinnakallar area records some of the highest rainfall in South India, which keeps the forest lush and the cascades lively for months after the monsoon.
Only in calm conditions and shallow edges; avoid the water when flow is strong.
A huge reservoir in the forest on the road to Kerala — best seen from the viewpoint and road.
Clear, shallow water over smooth pebbles — the easiest place in Valparai to get your feet wet.
Two nights in the tea country — sunrise viewpoints, waterfalls and time to simply slow down.
