Manalar Waterfalls, Natural waterfall in Kollam district, India.
Manalar Waterfalls drops from the Thooval Mala mountains, forming a white cascade visible through dense forest vegetation. The water flows into a natural pool at the base below.
The Kerala Forest Department established this location to protect and monitor the forests surrounding the falls. An eco-contact centre was built there to support this conservation work.
The falls flow through a forest that the community works to protect and manage. Visitors come to experience the natural environment and learn about conservation efforts.
A visit is best during or shortly after rainfall, when more water flows and the cascade effects are more visible. Sturdy footwear is recommended since paths through the forest can be wet and slippery.
Stone steps lead visitors up the slope to see the surrounding forest landscape from a higher vantage point. These steps allow you to enjoy the view from above and experience the surroundings from a different angle.
