History Of Meenmutty Waterfalls

Nedumangad, Kerala, India
Meenmutty Waterfalls (Lower) is a hidden treasure located near Kallar in the Nedumangad region. It is often confused with the one in Wayanad, but this one is uniquely situated in the Thiruvananthapuram district. The name "Meenmutty" comes from the Malayalam words for "where fish are blocked." The w aterfall is part of the Vamanapuram river and is surrounded by the dense forests of the Western Ghats. To reach the falls, visitors must undertake a scenic trek of about 2 KMS from the Kallar riverbed. The trail is moderate and takes you through rubber plantations and thick jungle patches. The water here is incredibly pure and falls over huge granite boulders. It is a multi-tiered waterfall, though the lower section is the most accessible for tourists. The area is known for its cool microclimate and refreshing air. It is a popular spot for youngsters and adventure seekers. The forest department monitors the area to ensure the safety of trekkers. There are designated spots for swimming where the current is not too strong. The surrounding woods are home to various endemic bird species. It is a perfect destination for a day-long picnic. The trek itself is an experience, offering views of the river winding through the rocks. Visitors are required to register at the forest check post before starting the hike. The path can be slippery during the monsoon, so proper shoes are a must. It is one of the most photographed waterfalls in South Kerala. The sound of the water echoing through the valley is truly therapeutic.
