** Caution - Long thread ** If you are worried about crowd , want privacy, some metime , own the waterfalls for few hours ? Then pick the off season time and I skipped the usual waterfalls, tried to duplicate VSNU's itenary (youtuber) WONDERFUL Auto bro, trustworthy , guided for tasty breakfast and helped to cover most places in Day 1. Had a excellent trip 1) unnamed private falls 1 (beautiful and private place, i was there almost 2/3 hours ) charges 150 for a vehicle and 50RS per head there after. Double check with auto bro. Out of all the places i liked this most due to privacy and unlimited timing. 2)Erumachavadi waterfalls ( two falls on private property , one is open to public and another exclusively you can book. 200RS for public and 100 extra for private falls approx they allow for an hour . 3) Gundaru Dam-first falls i did not explore the dam much but had a bumpy and scary ride on a jeep. it was quite adventurous. Per Auto bro there are 5/6 water falls upwards. i stopped with first one little slippery and need be carefull. Best thing about this waterfalls is that you get fish pedicure at free of cost..!! Location : Tenkasi/Courtallam Budget -- stay : 650 per day /solo traveler food : approx 300-400 per day site entry/private waterfalls - 1)200 2)300 3)600 for jeep (public water falls free) Auto bro : 1500 to 2 k.

Agaya Gangai waterfalls is 1 km walk down from the sides of the temple. The main attraction of Kolli Hills. One has to climb down (and back) 1302 steps to reach the falls. The steps are steep and can get very tiring. It takes approximately 30 mins to climb-down to the falls and 1 hr to climb-up back. Agaya Gangai waterfalls is the attraction of Kolli hills. Water falls from 300 feet of height and is an amazing view. The water falls on either the rocks or the pond like place near the rocks based on the water flow. One needs to get into the pond of water to get wet in the waterfalls. A rope is tied leading people through the pond towards the waterfalls for safety. Definitely, a great place ! We spent around 45 minutes in water. Do take snacks when you go down. Once you are out of water, you would feel hungry and need lots and lots of energy to make it back to the top across 1000+ steps !

We visited Agasthiyar Falls in the middle of February. The falls is surrrounded by lush green forest and the whole place looks magical. The waterfalls is quite good with a wall dividing the men and women bathing area. Water is heavenly with lots of herbs. The force of the water is surpringly heavy though the height is around 25 ft only. The surpring thing is that all animals roam here after 5:00 p.m. so we have to leave by 4:30 p.m. In all the whole experience left me thrilled. Will definitely go back again

The Old falls is around 8km from the Main falls Courtallam . The way to the falls is very beautiful with forested mountains and green blossoming rice fields to the right and coconut trees, Mango trees to the left. Two separate children pool is in front of the water falls so the falls is favourite far children.

We visited the Main Falls Courtallam a few days ago and it was an exhilarating experience.The falls are said to contain medicinal properties as the water cascades from hills full of thick jungles and ayurvedic plants. The water was copious and was thundering down in 3 main streams.The water was cold but was highly refreshing and rejuvenating.It's definitely worth a visit.

Great place to visit for chilling down on hot days, the water is so powerful so take care when you first go in. Segregated for men and women as so many things seem to be in India. Great fun and very refreshing. Weekends get stupidly busy so avoid if possible.
