The Thomman Kuthu Waterfalls Of Thodupuza

Front View Of The Waterfall

After our Eravikulam trip, we moved to our next destination,which is hidden in the remote jungles of Thodupuza. We had to utilize the GPS facility in one of our cellphones to route ourselves to the location. As  soon as we reached our destination,we moved towards the ticket counter and cashed for our entry passes. It costed 10 rs per head and an additional 10 rs was required for my camera. There is a short trek path through the patch of jungle .After a while , we started walking through the narrow path heading towards the waterfall.

 The climate was pretty warm and moist. The place was filled with a multitude of  sounds particularly that of cicadas.As we reached the waterfall,the sounds of the jungle got mixed with the noise of the falling water making it a music to both eyes & ears alike. We decided to chill off the day with a bath in the cool water. We had to skip over some slippery rocks to get ourselves in to the stream.

After a refreshing bath, we had a look around and could just see rocks,water and trees. The guards did warn us not to venture further and into the jungle. The daylight was fading as well. So we made our way back to the entrance and then back to our homes.

I wouldn't tell that it is one of the best locations, but still it is one of those destinations which you don't want to miss if you are visiting any of the nearby locations. Its small waterfall and the safer trek path covered by greenery is what you should expect from here. But still if you are for natural beauty, it can be an enchanting paradise.
