Discover what makes this destination truly special
Valara Waterfalls is a series of cascading falls located directly beside the Kochi-Madurai Highway, making it a popular and easily accessible stop for those traveling to Munnar. The water tumbles down a steep, rocky cliff from a height of about 1000 meters, creating multiple tiers that are visible through the surrounding greenery. The falls are part of the Deviyar River and are enveloped by dense forest, which adds to the natural setting.
Plan your trip around the ideal season for the best experience
June to October, especially on weekends and holidays, coinciding with the monsoon and peak tourist travel to Munnar.
November to February, as post-monsoon tourist traffic remains steady.
