    Date : 26-06-2023 Location: Great location and view Water: Good flow of water today with chillness Crowd: Very less crowded and if you are nearby do visit asap Kids- Friendly - Yes they have separate places to bath for Ladies and kids. Mode of Transport: I prefer cars or Van to enjoy this place. Snacks: Available near the falls Lunch: Plan your own lunch as I couldn't find any place near falls. PS: Be Aware of monkeys which can steal stuff from your belongings.

    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.

    Such a wonderful and pleasant place. We went there by 4pm. We thought they'll close by 5pm since in Google the closing time mentioned as 5pm.. But the forest officer there asked us to stop bathing by 4:25 pm. That was the only disappointment - otherwise one must visit this place once.

    A very nice little waterfall to visit. Very small bathing place. But the force of water is pretty intense and will give the unique experience. Watch out for monkeys. They become aggressive when they see food in your hand. A stone may help to keep them away. The road leading to the falls is so tiny that if there is anything bigger than a car, you cannot cross it without a place where the road is enlarged. And the road is very bad.

    A very good place to spend time with nature. Less crowded on 28-01-2024. Good water flows to the bath in the falls.

    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.

    A good and calm place to visit. In my opinion the waterfall under which people are bathing are not worth for planning a trip. The only highlight of this place is the agasthiyaar temple from which the major waterfall along with its pond can be seen. It is a clean and serene place with clean pond water having fishes inside it. I will not recommend a planned visit at this waterfall for bathing but I will definetly recommend it for the people who are looking for a calm getaway to the nature.

    One of the short falls I've visited in recent times but the scenery and the serenity of the place can get you to relax and spend some quality time with your family. There is a Shiva temple above the falls with an amazing waterfall which you can hear while praying the deity.

    Ticket charge is a bit expensive. But the ambience and atmosphere is beautiful. Pretty calm place. Nature friendly. Don't forget to save nature. Please avoid plastic.

    Very amazing experience and water will be coming from the dam above the hills. Cleanliness and hygiene should have been maintained much better.

    There is a good parking space for cars and bikes, More monkeys are roaming here so, keep all your belongings safe and don't put anything in bike covers while parking here. Not a very big falls but good water flow was there. We can spend 1 to 2 hrs here. There is a temple also located here, you have to climb 150 steps to reach this temple.

    The best time to enjoy a visit to Papanasam Falls is during the winters, i.e. the months of November till January as humidity levels are low which makes the temperature very pleasant and the entry to the waterfalls is not closed due to flooding.
