Marmala Waterfalls
Marmala Waterfalls is often referred to as the 'Enchantress of the Jungle'. It is a magnificent waterfall located within a private rubber estate in Teekoy. The water plunges from a staggering height into a deep, turquoise blue pool. Accessing the falls is an adventure as it requires a trek through dense vegetation and rubber trees. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of wild flowers and the roar of the falling water. It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the region, especially after the rains. The surrounding granite rocks add a rugged charm to the picturesque setting. Despite its beauty, it remains less crowded than other spots in Idukki, providing a sense of solitude. The trek itself is rewarding, offering glimpses of the local flora and fauna of the Western Ghats. It is a must-visit for anyone who loves raw, unadulterated nature.
