Ulakkai Aruvi Falls (also referred to as Rod Falls)[1] is a waterfall in the Western Ghats. It lies in the Asambu Reserve Forest, in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India.
Geography[edit]
Ulakkai Aruvi Falls is located near Azhagiapandiapuram, which is about 39 km (24 mi) from Kanyakumari and about 19 km (12 mi) from Nagercoil. Situated in the forested hills of the Western Ghats, the fall can be reached by an hour-long trek from the base of the hills through a rocky, forested area. Ulakkai Aruvi Falls has two waterfalls, one being lower and the other higher. The falls are fed by the Ulakkai, a spring originating from the nearby Anamalai Hills.[2]
Accessibility[edit]
The nearest road can be found in the village of Perunthalaikadu, with bus services available from Nagercoil to Azhagiapandipuram. From Azhagiapandipuram, the falls are accessible only by foot, via a 2 km trek.
The most popular time to visit the falls is just after the monsoon season, which is when the falls are at their fullest.[3]
