Tiger Falls is often talked about as a tourist spot, but in reality, it’s quite a small waterfall. You’ll see just a stream of water trickling down from the rocks rather than a powerful fall.

Tiger Falls, a hidden gem nestled amidst the lush greenery of Courtallam, stole my heart with its raw, untamed beauty. Unlike its grander cousin, the Main Falls, Tiger Falls offers a more intimate encounter with nature. The cascading water, gushing through moss-covered rocks, creates a mesmerizing dance of light and spray. The air is alive with the invigorating roar of the falls, and the cool mist provides a welcome respite from the tropical sun. Swimming in the natural pools at the base of the falls was an absolute thrill, the power of the water both exhilarating and refreshing. Tiger Falls may not be the tallest or most famous, but it left me with an unforgettable experience, a feeling of being enveloped by the raw, untamed...
