Trekker Trail and Waterfalls at Thommankuthu

You’ve read those hotel brochures that offer private pools with every cottage? Thommankuthu is a natural beauty which offers a waterfall cascade and step at every pool. Seven Steps to Beautiful Waterfalls is what this splendiferous wild waterfall would be headlined if in a brochure. For there are 7 waterfalls flowing into the river near a village.
 What’s On Offer

• There’s a mix and match of green patches here. There’s evergreen forest, an array of medicinal plants – 180 species in all and wild versions of plants that you’d otherwise see growing in private gardens neatly. 
• There’s a 12 km trail through thick forest. It’s a rough hewn path that gives way to boulders as you move up. 
• There’s a lake for boating.
• There’s fishing and horse riding.
• There’s quiet. For those looking for an undisturbed picnic spot, it’s here. 

Getting There: It is equidistant from Kochi or Kottayam, 60 km each way. You can catch the bus to Thodupuzha which is 18 km away Or take the Munnar – Thommankuthu bus to reach (20 km).

 Accommodations in Thommankuthu: Thodupuzha is where the hotels and rest houses are, as Thommankuthu is still being developed as an eco-tourist spot. So as of now Thommankuthu can be done only as a day trip.
