Manalar
waterfalls
is
yet
another
splendour
of
Kerala’s
beauty
tucked
away
within
the
silent
creeks
of
the
Western
ghats.
The
small
building
along
the
nearest
roadside
is
just
a
namesake
facilitation
center
that
does
zero
use
to
visitors.
Then
visitors
would
simply
go
off-route
walking
along
a
forest
trail
almost
half
a
km
into
the
forest
to
discover
the
Manalar
falls.
We
had
to
jump
across
watercourses,
climb
up
rocks
and
tread
along
bouldered
terrains
to
reach
the
wonder.
The
falls
occur
in
4
steps
and
is
a
performance
of
nature’s
exhibition.
It
occurs
in
a
melody
of
synchronised
descents
and
finally
a
crescendo
of
downstream
flow.
The
sparkling
and
foaming
hum
of
the
water
is
a
soothing
resonace
in
the
woodland
setting.
Certainly,
a
stress
reliever
for
us
city-dwellers.
But
the
downside
is
that
such
tourism
centers
don’t
have
any
facilities
in
the
vicinity
to
access,
in
terms
of
basic
amenities.
Nature’s
call
needs
to
be
addressed
in
the
open
which
polluted
the
environment.
No
waste
collection
centers
in
the
area,
which
means
you
would
find
a
lot
of
unwanted
stuff
lying
around.
Another
heads
up-
Watch
out
for
the
leeches.
They
are
the
blood-sucking
vampires
of
the
insect
family,
and
quite
camouflaged
within
the
loamy
soil.
