Best route to travel on mornings 😍

I strongly recommend to visit the place post 3/4 PM as you can see the high amount of mist and the air would be so breezy and for sure you would enjoy

Beautiful water falls, where only locals can drive to this place. The approach is filthy and need maintenance. Its very spooky after 5pm. Watch for snakes when you walk to the spot.

Just crossing the view point on driving. Great view.

One of the best view points in the nilgiris

It's just a small view point on the high top of the bend and you have to reach there there must be 36haipin bends to pass and it's only a view that you get the mountains and the view is also a small village with different types of homes with different types of painted walls that's a nice view except that only a view point

Everyone says it is a beautiful place. But this waterfall is closed. The government has closed the access there. The reason is that some of them were suicidal there. Trespassing is illegal

There’s no View point here waste of time

No words...Just go alone on a bike and feel the nature for yourself!

From ooty one can reach Mudumalai via Kalhatty getting diverted at Thala Kundha. It is a step Ghat road where one need an experience to drive downhill and uphill. You have a checkpost in Kalhatty and the falls is walkable distance from this point. Most of the time the falls is closed and tourist are not allowed as life risk is More and many death have occured there. Kindly ensure from locals at ooty or Thala Kundha whether tourist allowed. one can enquire with Police or Forest Officials too. Herd of Bison and Elephants are spotted on the top of the grazing land hills at late evening as there is a natural water trough on the top where in water logging help animals for drinking after grazing...
