Courtallam: Waterfalls



Courtallam (Kutraalam) (Tamil: குற்றாலம்) is a panchayat town situated at a mean elevation of 160 m (520 ft) on the Western Ghats in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu, India. Many seasonal and a few perennial rivers such as the Chittar River, the Manimuthar River, the Pachaiyar River and the Tambaraparani River originate in this region. There are three major waterfalls that are reachable by road - the Main Falls, Five Falls, and Old Courtallam Falls. Other waterfalls like Shenbaga Devi Falls and Honey Falls are reachable only by trekking on the mountain. Near the Old Courtallam Falls is a smaller falls called the Tiger Falls, called by that name as it was known to have been frequented by tigers looking for water.
