Located in Dindigul district near Theni in Tamil Nadu, Kumbakkarai Falls is a mesmerising waterfall that is situated at the foothills of the Kodaikanal hills. The water cascades down in two layers- at the first stage, the water collects at the rock boulders and recesses. And in the second stage, it falls down the layer of rocks. These recesses are named after wild animals like tiger, snake, elephant, cheetah etc.
Besides boasting of immense scenic beauty and the melodious tinkering of the gushing waters, the place also offers utter peace and tranquility. Also unlike most other waterfalls, Kumbakkarai Falls also offer shallow waters where tourists are welcomed to swim or to take a dip. The popular tourist spot is the most crowded during the rainy season when the water level is high and the neighboring areas glows with greenery. There is also a Murugan statue installed at the spot.
