Pallangi falls

Pallangi Falls is a lesser-known seasonal waterfall near the village of Pallangi, about 8–12 km from Kodaikanal town in the Palani Hills. Unlike the more popular waterfalls, it remains relatively uncrowded and is favored by nature lovers and photographers.

Highlights

• Type: Seasonal waterfall (best during and just after the monsoon)
• Location: Near Pallangi Village, off Pallangi Road
• Distance from Kodaikanal: Around 20–30 minutes by road
• Entry Fee: None (subject to local access conditions)
• Best Time to Visit: July to November, when water flow is strongest.

Things to Know

• The falls are not a developed tourist attraction. There are no official facilities such as ticket counters, changing rooms, or food stalls.
• The final approach may involve a short walk over uneven terrain.
• During heavy rains, the rocks become slippery and water levels can rise quickly, so caution is advised.

If you’re staying near Attuvampatti or Pallangi, Pallangi Falls can be a peaceful offbeat stop, especially when combined with nearby viewpoints and village drives. It is much quieter than the better-known Silver Cascade Falls or Fairy Falls.
