    You have to reach the falls by boat from Karayar dam reservoir. It was a hot day at the beginning of another Summer. We are lucky there was no crowd when we reached there we were the only people. The water falling on the head is similar to someone hitting with a hard pillow and slapping on the shoulders with sattai and the funny part is you still feel good. It was one of the best falls i visited and thanks to low crowd

    Banatheertham Falls located inside the picturesque Karaiyar Dam in Thirunelveli district is a natural cascading waterfalls situated at Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve. The medicinal property of the water is acclaimed and it is believed that the legendary sage Agasthiyar wandered here in search of rich herbs found in this forest. It is a great place to take herbal bath flowing from the healing waters of Agasthiyamala Biosphere Reserve.

    This is my world's beautiful place, which I never and ever forget. Heaven of waterfall. When you drink water you didn't feel your drinking water that much softness and coolness that makes it feel like spiritual water. I'm waiting to reopen this place.

    Jeep ride from Manimuthar range office. Costs 500 per adult and 250 for kids.. Jeep ride is 12 km one way and goes off road after Sorimuthu Ayyanar temple. Overall good experience, there isnt much wildlife to spot.. Drive around Karaiyar dam was scenic and the waterfalls was viewable from little far.. Boat ride or bathing in waterfalls is not allowed. Restrooms are very clean in the range office, there are refreshments available to buy till 4PM.

    One of the best falls in Tirunelveli district. Reaching this spot is very very difficult. Old people and people having difficulty in walking should avoid this destination.

    Paana Theertham waterfalls is located at above the Karaayar Dam near Papanasam. It is terrific tourist place in Pabanasam. We can visit with family and spent lots of time here. Water is very clear and pure. We can bath in waterfalls. This is best spot for Nature Lovers. Shopping is not possible here. Some tea shop only available to foodies. Parking is here, but cloak room, public toilet and dress changing room facilities is not available here. Bike, Car, Van and Auto vehicle is best to travel here. Without own transport journey is very hard to reach this place and waste your time to waiting for public transport.

    Twin brother to the Banateertham Falls, Papanasam Fall is an immaculate sheet of white water that flows enchantingly in the rainforests of the Western Ghats mesmerizing one and all with its sheer volume, beauty and height. The Papanasam Falls, with a drop of 120 meters is highly revered by the locals both for their immense beauty and religious significance. It is believed that a dip in its waters can absolve one of all their sins. It is, therefore, also called Papanasam Falls; Papanasam in local language means the removal of all sins. It is also said that these pleasant force waterfalls possess unique herbal and medicinal properties and that the waters are so nourishing it feels like a soothing oil massage.

    Banatheertham waterfalls is located at Karaayar falls near Papanasam. It's amazing green belt with lot of water of 6 sq km. There are hydro electric power plants located at the Karaayar falls. Agasthiyar falls ia located nearby. Totally you have nice bath at the falls and enjoy the serene environment. If I am not giving 5 star to the location, I am not doing justice to my visit
