VALLI CHUNAI — Attraction in Thuckalay

Valli Chunai, also known as Valli Sunai, is a picturesque waterfall situated near Kumarakovil, close to Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu. This hidden gem is renowned for its serene environment and the unique experience it offers, as the waterfall is nestled within a cave-like formation.

Valli Chunai is approximately 72 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram, making it a feasible destination for a day trip. Reaching the waterfall involves a trek of about an hour through hilly terrain. The path is not well-defined, so it's advisable to be cautious and consider seeking guidance from locals or experienced trekkers.

The waterfall cascades into a natural pool, providing a refreshing spot for visitors. The surrounding lush greenery and the secluded nature of the falls make it an ideal location for those seeking tranquility away from crowded tourist spots. The cave-like setting adds an element of adventure and mystique to the experience.

Due to the lack of a proper path and the necessity of trekking through uneven terrain, it's important to wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for a moderately challenging hike.

Consider visiting with someone familiar with the area or hiring a local guide to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

There are limited facilities near the waterfall, so it's advisable to carry sufficient water and snacks.

It's a hidden gem in Kanyakumari. It's a falls inside a cave... So the experience is very unique. At first you should be ready for a treck in a slightly steep hills. The path will be marked in the stones with an painted arrow mark. So you will not be lost. Also the mobile network for Jio, BSNL and Airtel are quite good... So no worries. Just pack some food and more water for the trip in the uphill coz it will be tiring. While reaching the top, you can see a lot of monkeys there. So better keep one person to guard your belongings when going for a dip in the falls. It is said that the cave is a place where one siddha used. So better be neat there. The water is neat in the falls, but after that it is polluted by plastics and other stuffs coz of our intrusion in the forest.

The way to the Valli Chunai is... 1. From Nagercoil, go to Kumarakoil 2. Then ask some local people there or use map to reach Norul Islam College 3. Near the college entrance there will be a path going upward towards the mountain. Just take that path and reach the end. You can park your vehicle there. Then you have to walk and reach the falls following the arrow mark and the path. There will be occasional sceneries you can see from the mountain... You can also see the sea if you have a good eye sight😂. Enjoy...

Wonderful place. This is a remote place where you can find little to no crowd. The water is super fresh. You need to do a 3 kilometer hike to get to the spot. The spot is a 30 meter (Not sure, this is just a guess) cave like structure which is created by a big rock splitting into 2. You will have to walk through water, and the depth vary from 10cm to 150cm. Becareful cause the ground under the water is rocky and your leg could get hurt. Inside there you will feel like you are in a movie. Water and God rays mixing together providing enough illumination and also providing a different vibe. The outside area leading towards the spot have trashes here and there but still this is a 10/10 spot.

Warning, locals(even tourists) usually bring alcohol and drink it there. But everyone we encountered were...
