Katary Falls, Waterfall in Tamil Nadu, India
The water at Katary Falls plunges from a height of 130 feet, creating a two-tiered cascade that flows into a natural pool at the base.
In the early days of electrical power generation, Katary Falls became the location of India's first hydroelectric power project, producing 1000 kilowatts of electricity.
The natural environment surrounding Katary Falls holds significance for the residents of Adikaratti village and the Nilgiris region, who maintain deep connections with the area.
Visitors can access Katary Falls between 6 AM and 5 PM through a trek from the main road, located 13 kilometers from both Ooty Railway Station and Coonoor.
The waterfall forms part of the Kateri hydroelectric system, combining natural water power with industrial heritage in the mountains of Tamil Nadu.
