Perumbanuth Waterfalls is located at Mankulam in Idukki district of Kerala state. This is a tall waterfall, around 50 meters high and surrounded by large rocks and boulders.

Exploring Perumbankuth Waterfalls

While it's an incredible sight to behold, the waterfalls is pretty unpopular due to the presence of many other large and small waterfalls around the area. The waterfall is very peaceful in the summer months but becomes very violent during the monsoon seasons. Regardless of the season, any flash rains in the upper mountains too can result in deadly flash floods. If you are venturing near to the falls, for this reason, it's always safer to be accompanied by a local.

Bamboo forests and plantations

The falls is surrounded by bamboo forests on one side and cacao, rubber and spice plantations on the other. The bamboo forests are frequented by elephants as it is one of it's favorite food.

To see the falls in its complete glory, you have to do a short hike from the top of the falls, through the rubber plantation and then to the bottom of the falls through an opening of the bamboo forest. From the bottom, it will look majestic in its full view and since it is not the most popular falls in the region you can spend a lot of time peacefully there. It is also possible to climb on the rocks to the middle of the falls and to have a shower in the trickling water that falls from 20 meters up. But do not do this without local people accompanying you.

Reaching Perumbankuth

The nearest town to the waterfalls is Mankulam. You can reach there by bus from either Munnar or from Adimaly if you are coming from the Cochin side. The nearest railway station is at Aluva from where there are buses to Adimaly and Munnar.

This is one tall waterfall, probably lost its glory due to the presence of myriad's of other waterfalls located in Munnar. It is about 50 meters tall, in dry months very peaceful and in the monsoon months, huge volume of water falls through here. The falls is surrounded by bamboo forest in one side which elephants frequent and rubber plantations in another. We were there in February with a friend who lived nearby who made is possible for us to climb through the rocks of the fall to almost to the top. In other months except from January to May, I think the climb will not be possible at all due to the increased amount of water pouring through. You can access the falls from its top portion and then have a short hike to the bottom through plantations and then you will be able to see the full size of the gigantic falls. It looks majestic and since it is not the most popular falls in the area, you can spend all the time you want peacefully there. We climbed the rocks, took shower in the trickling water that falls 20 meters up and had a great adventure.
