Coutrallam Falls

Coutrallam Falls is a cascade system in the Western Ghats mountains with nine separate waterfalls flowing through natural pools. The water moves through rocky terrain creating a series of drops and channels across the landscape.

The falls were documented in the early 1800s by visitors who noted their therapeutic qualities and mineral-rich water. Since then, the site has remained a recognized destination for those seeking the healing benefits of its waters.

The site holds deep meaning for pilgrims who come to bathe in the water as part of spiritual rituals and personal cleansing. Local communities view the cascades as sacred places where body and mind connect with natural forces.

The best time to visit is during the monsoon season from June to September when water levels are at their highest. Wear sturdy shoes and move carefully on slippery rock surfaces, as wet conditions make the pathways challenging.

The water carries natural minerals and herbal compounds from the mountain slopes that give it healing properties beyond typical waterfalls. Many visitors report feeling refreshed and energized after bathing in the pools.
