Ulakkai Aruvi waterfall...
- 10 years ago
Ulakkai Aruvi falls is about 35 km from Kanyakumari town and about 17 km from Nagercoil town, near Azhakiyapandiapuram village. The falls is up in the middle of forested hills (the hills of the Western Ghats), which is accessible only by foot from the base of the hills.
The hour's trek from the base of the hills is through rocky, forested area, which is thrilling in itself. (On a clear day, one can view the waterfalls from the base of the hills through naked eye, or even better through binoculars / zoom lens).The water is basically spring water, coming in as a stream up from the hills nearby.
The lower portion of the waterfalls, and the spot one reaches after the trek. This is a good picnic spot. The view from this spot of the greenery below the hills is exhilarating. Good to have bath and relax for an hour. The water here is cool even during the hot months, though the waterflow is less during the summer months. To reach the Higher falls, one needs to climb about 200 meters uphill (recommended only for healthy people who can climb and swim).
Ulakkai Aruvi Falls is definitely a place to go if you are a naturalist or a person looking for a natural attraction.It is one of the many waterfalls that is situated in the southern tip of India.
