Perunthenaruvi Falls, Natural waterfall in Vechoochira, India.
Perunthenaruvi Falls is a waterfall in Vechoochira formed by two cascades named Panamkudantha and Padivathil that descend and create pools below. The water eventually flows into the Pamba River system.
The name comes from Malayalam words referring to the natural beehives that once produced honey along the stream banks. This historical connection to nature shaped how the place became known.
The waterfall sits near Sabarimala, a major pilgrimage destination in South India, making it a stopping point for visitors traveling to this important religious center. People view the place as part of a spiritual journey through the region.
To reach the waterfalls, visitors need to walk from the entrance along a path through the forest. The site is most full of water during the rainy season when flow is highest.
The waterfall maintains water flow throughout all seasons, staying visible even during drier months. This constant water supply makes it a reliable destination to visit at any time of year.
