Aruvikuzhy Waterfalls
Aruvikuzhy Waterfalls (not to be confused with the one in Kottayam) is a hidden treasure. It is situated amidst vast rubber plantations near Kozhencherry. The water falls from a height of approximately 100 feet. The stream breaks into several small rivulets as it hits the rocks. It is a perfect spo t for those seeking solitude and raw nature. The sound of the falling water creates a natural symphony. The surrounding greenery is lush and remains cool even in summer. It is a popular spot for local families for weekend picnics. The area is relatively undeveloped, keeping its rustic charm intact. It offers a refreshing break from the urban heat. The mist from the falls provides a cooling effect to visitors.
