At a distance of 7 km from Tenkasi, 160 km from Madurai, 62 km from Tirunelveli & 625 km from Chennai, Courtallam, or Kutralam is well known for Courtallam Falls which is one of the most famous waterfalls in Tamilnadu. Courtallam is famed as the 'Spa of South'. The main attraction of this summer resort is its waterfalls. The waters of Courtallam are believed to have medicinal qualities as it flows through forests of herbs. There are nine waterfalls at Courtallam where the River Chittar cascades over 92 meters at varying volumes. The Main falls or Peraruvi is the most popular and the biggest among the nine falls, at a distance of about 300 meters from Courtallam Bus Stand. Falling from a height of 60 m, it is located right inside Courtallam town. The flow of water is interrupted by the Pongumakadal rock and comes down gently making it a safe place to bath. One can find water not only during the season but also in off season (November to January). During the peak months, this place is frequented by travellers from around the country. The Kutralanathar Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva is located near this falls. Road access is available close to the falls. Chitraruvi or Small falls is situated just above the Main falls. There are steps which provide easy access to the small falls. The size of the falls is comparatively small and the people who are scared of Peraruvi can literally enjoy Chitraruvi. Separate sections are present both for men and women to take bath. Chitraruvi leads to other waterfalls like Shenbagadevi falls and Thenaruvi. Shenbagadevi Falls or Chembakkadevi Falls is situated above Chitraruvi falls / Small falls, at about 3 kms from Main falls. Visitors have to trek through Chitraruvi forest for about 45-60 minutes to reach Shenbagadevi falls, where the water flows from a height of 40 feet. The falls is surrounded by Shenbaga trees. Entry to this falls is restricted during peak season due to flash floods and not safe for bathing. There is also a temple dedicated to Shenbagadevi Amman near the falls. During full moon days numerous pilgrims visit this temple. Vendors sell the fragrant Shenbaga flowers on the way to the temple, which is an offering here. Honey Falls or Thenaruvi is further 1 km from Shenbagadevi Falls and 4 kms from the Main falls. It cascades down from a height of 40 m between two large stones. This is the first cascade in the series of Courtallam Falls and considered the most pure. It is named after the beehives that form on the face of the rock during dry season. The picturesque horseshoe shaped waterfall which falls vertically from three sides to join into a small lake, is a wonderful sight. The waterfall is not easily accessible and is a risky trek. The trek will takes almost 30 minutes from Main falls and people are not allowed to bath in the falls as it is very dangerous. Entry to this falls is also restricted during peak season owing to flash floods. July to October is the best time.

🚫Worst tourist place ever seen in my life, Bad smells and unhygienic, Dont try to eat anything from there because tgey use unhygienic water to cook In rain season black colour water flows through the walkway Feeling sick after seeing this beautiful water fall in this situation. ✅ The waterfall have good scenary in rain season also in nice weather.

Kutralam Waterfalls offers a mesmerizing escape into nature with its cascading beauty. The lush green surroundings and the soothing sound of water create a serene atmosphere. However, a slight improvement in maintenance could enhance the overall experience to a 5-star level.

A very attractive and fantastic nature sight that a traveller never miss. The street wenders, temple's and the roaring sound of the falls are unforgettable experience. The falls that'rushes deep drawn from some about an hight of 100 meters is giving really a spa effect.

Best picnic spot for family and friends. December month will be full crowded. Water level is low. Parking fees 50 rs as per review date.

Coutrallam main falls is very good and vibrant waterfalls famous is southern part of tamil nadu

The falls water is pure and natural. Still people are using soaps and shampoo. Please avoid that and make the place as clean.

Wonderful experience every one must visit but it will be in some particular seasons just enquiry

One of the best waterfalls of Tamil nadu and I suggest every one to visit once in a lifetime and this falls has its own type which make the sick people to normal person by the water which falls from the high range and make the soul to spend more time

Coutralam the best tourist place and devine place too, if we visit in off season can enjoy without crowd, the oldest temple and 51 sakthi peedam one sakthi peedam here its parasakthi peedam most powerful can feel the positive vibration visit this place once in ur life time...

We went to Courtalam at 3.30 in the morning. There was quite a crowd. As time went by, the crowd started coming. If you go at night, you can take a bath without any stress and we parked our vehicle easily

If you need pure water then this would be the ideal location... Main water fall of courtrallam .. Though the water fall is low there percentage of enjoyment is very high.. Need to wait for 10mins..once entered into the falls no wait...

I am glad belonging to this district. I was visited every day even I have short time to leave. that's much amazing place in monsoon. It's was amazing experience taking bath in middle of crowd. Such experience always should have in life time

I have visited Courtalam Waterfalls three times now, and while I appreciate the natural beauty of this place, I must say that I am disappointed in its lack of hygiene. The waterfalls are quite beautiful, but unfortunately you should be prepared to come across quite a bit of trash and other debris. The restrooms, in particular, are sorely lacking in cleanliness. I regret to say that I cannot in good conscience recommend Courtalam Waterfalls if hygiene is a priority for you.

One of the favourite places to go and enjoy nature with pure water.

Excellant environment. Water with full force gushing. Less crowd during rainy fays

A very nice place to visit for engagement Plz visit during the November to January.Nature lovers will definitely enjoy the spot.Area is free of pollution ,calm and cool.
