Travel Tips Of Valara Waterfalls

Idukki, Kerala, India
Valara Waterfalls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders in Idukki, located between Neriamangalam and Adimali on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi highway. It originates from the Deviyar river and cascades down from a staggering height of nearly 1000 feet. The waterfall is unique because it falls in se veral distinct steps or tiers, especially visible during the rainy season. Surrounded by dense, unexploited forests, it provides a raw and wild look at the Western Ghats' landscape. The falls are a part of a larger chain of waterfalls including the nearby Cheeyappara. Because the terrain is quite steep and the forests are thick, the bottom of the falls is difficult to reach, making it primarily a roadside visual treat. The sound of the plunging water can be heard from a long distance, and the spray often reaches the highway, cooling down the passing travelers. It is a vital spot for the local ecology, supporting a variety of flora and fauna within the forest reserves that flank the highway. For many, this is the first real introduction to the high-range beauty of Munnar as they climb up from the plains of Ernakulam.

Tourism Tips

Health & Safety: Never attempt to climb the rocks or go near the edge, as they are extremely slippery and the current is strong.

Packing: Wear shoes with a good grip. Carry a waterproof cover for your cameras and mobile phones to protect them from the spray.

Connectivity: Mobile signals are fairly stable here as it is a major highway, but data speeds may be slow.

Cash: Keep small change for local vendors who sell snacks and bottled water.
