Best place in Tenkasi for tourist. Even in Many month in Hot summer you can peacefully enjoy the water falls and the temple on the top.Even kutttalm will be dried but this falls won't dry. You can fine waterfalls 365Days. Currently they are charing per person 30 Rupees and for bike 20 Rupees. We went there on May Last Week

Had a OK OK experience only and that of great compared to others in the same region. Although the falls may not be as big as some of the others in this region, but the journey to get there was worth it. The road leading up to the falls was absolutely breathtaking, with beautiful scenery and plenty of photo opportunities. It's a very small falls so space in falls are also less. On crowded days it won't be a good idea to visit. As you will be squeezed by the crowd and won't be a good experience. One word of caution - be mindful of the monkeys in the area. They can be quite sneaky and may try to steal your food if you're not careful. Other than that, the visit was fantastic and I highly recommend checking out Agathiyar Falls during weekdays or non holidays. Also there were Montior Lizard out in the wild and we were able to see one.!!! Pros: ~ Seperate space for men and women in falls. ~ Ample amount space for Car parking available. ~ Toilets available ~ Family Park before entering into falls with free swing ~ Shops with bath suit, towels and accessories available but pricey Cons: ~ Need little more work on maintenance ~ No proper dress change rooms ~ No waiting rooms

Nice place, easy to drive in the mountain. Even aged / differently able to go near the falls. We can park vehicles near falls around 200 mtrs. Drive slowly so you can enjoy the nature and possible to see some wild animals. Note: take tickets in the forest gate entrance while vehicle checking. Plastics are strictly not allowed.

This is one of the falls where water flow.will be there throughout the year. Even in summer season flow will be good. It is 42kms away from Tirunelveli. After papanasam sivan temple, we.need to get a pass and a ticket at the entrance of Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. Entry allowed till 3 p m only. Need to climb hills for few kilometers. Enough space is there for parking before the falls. Need to walk for sometime to reach the falls. They have constructed a wall, one side is used by males and the other side by females. Female dress cha ging room was also available. A very good falls, not great height bu the force is very much adequate for a safe bath. Must visit in Tirunelveli.

One of the finest falls in Tamilnadu. I visit around 20falls around tamilnadu, kerala and karnataka. This one is clean and well manage. Strick patrol by police restrict usage of alcohol and plastic. Friendly environment for women bath and dress change. Recommend time to visit is 6 to 7am. Open time is 6am to 3pm only.

Excellent falls to take bath. Entry ticket has to be taken from the check post near papanasam towards the sorimuthu ayyanar temple. Separate section for ladies and gents with a wall in between. Rooms for changing clothes are also available. If we climb around 150 steps from this falls, there is a small Shiva temple which also has a beautiful view of another falls. We cannot take bath here.
