About the Waterfall

Forest Falls

Meenmutty Falls is the largest waterfall in Wayanad, Kerala, cascading down in three tiers through dense tropical forest. The trek to the falls is moderate and passes through lush greenery with occasional wildlife sightings. The falls are most impressive during and after the monsoon. Being in Kerala's Wayanad district, the surrounding area offers excellent homestay options and spice plantations. Best combined with a Wayanad weekend trip visiting Edakkal Caves and Banasura Dam.
