I recently visited the Kanthanpara Waterfalls in Wayanad and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The natural beauty of this waterfall is simply breathtaking. Not only is it a treat for the eyes, but there is also a facility to go down and take a bath in the crystal-clear waters.
The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and the sound of the water cascading down is so soothing. The best part about this place is that there are bathroom facilities available, making it convenient for visitors to freshen up after taking a dip in the water.
I was also impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the workers at the waterfall. They provided us with directions and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience. They were also very knowledgeable about the area and its history, which added to the overall experience.
It is important to note that while the waterfall is a beautiful sight, it can also be dangerous. Special care should be taken while bathing in the water as it is a danger zone. Visitors should follow the safety guidelines and not venture too close to the edge of the waterfall.
The parking facility at Kanthanpara Waterfalls is another aspect that deserves praise. The parking is free of cost and there is ample space for vehicles. This made our visit hassle-free and we were able to enjoy our time at the waterfall without worrying about our car.
In conclusion, Kanthanpara Waterfalls is a must-visit destination in Wayanad. It offers a perfect blend of nature and adventure. The facility to go down to the waterfall and take a bath, the availability of bathrooms, friendly workers, and free parking make it an ideal spot for a day trip with family and friends. However, it is important to remember to be cautious while enjoying the waterfall. I highly recommend adding this place to your itinerary when...
Read moreThe Kanthanpara waterfall is one of the most unique waterfalls out of all those that I have visited across the country. There is an entry ticket to the waterfall and plenty of parking space to park your vehicle. Once inside, through the main gate, you will see the stream of water flowing to the end from where it falls down from the cliff.
However, to reach the actual waterfall, you must walk some distance and climb down a flight of stairs. Post this, there are 3 levels to the fall. One is a kind of viewing deck, which is where the steps end and is for people who wish to see the waterfalls from a distance without going near the fall. The second level is when you must balance yourself and walk along the rocks. Ropes are tied so you can use them to support and climb down the rocks. A pool-like structure was created where the falls can be experienced. You can even go underneath the waterfall to feel that incredible experience. Tons of people were bathing and enjoying the fall.
The third level is a bit below and is more of a bigger pond where the water finally flows. Here, too, there was a massive crowd just lazily sitting in the water. There were families with kids, and few had even brought inflatable tubes with them for the kids. But the stagnant water was unclear and seemed muddy from the above. Also, the outlet to the water seems very slow, leading to an accumulation of mud. Thus, this could be an issue, and some cleaning is needed in this area.
The surrounding area is fantastic, though. It is covered in hills on all 3 sides with lush green forest growing on the hills. The water, despite being scorching summer, was cool enough. Overall, this is a fantastic place. The waterfall, the area created, and the lush green hills make the area look...
