Meenmutty Falls

Meenmutty Falls, Waterfall in Wayanad District, Kerala, India

Meenmutty Falls is a waterfall in Wayanad where water descends over three rocky tiers from a height of about 300 meters, forming the largest waterfall system in the region. The water separates into multiple cascades before joining together in a natural pool at the base.

The falls rise on Ambukuthi hill and drop into the Chaliyar river; the Meenmutty, Soochipara and Kanthapara falls all feed that river. Access is from Padinjarathara, and the three tiers are climbed by separate paths. Drownings have been recorded here since 1991, and the tourism route is currently closed because of accidents.

The falls rise on Ambukuthi Mala and their water reaches the Chaliyar river, as do the nearby Soochipara and Kanthanpara falls. The name joins 'meen', Malayalam for fish, and 'mutty', stream. The climb to the three tiers is popular with trekkers, who take separate paths to each level.

The falls are reached from the Kalpetta–Ooty road: get off the bus and walk about 2 km. The route from Kalpetta, 29 km away, passes tea plantations and teak forests. The best months to visit are November to May. The tourism spot is currently closed because of accidents in the area.

During monsoon season, the water flow creates three distinct falls that remain separated until reaching the natural pool at the bottom.
