Chethalayam Waterfalls

Chethalayam Waterfalls is a seasonal waterfall and trekking attraction in the Chethalayam area near Sulthan Bathery, Wayanad district, Keralam. Keralam Tourism describes it as a smaller waterfall than some of Wayanad's better-known cascades, with surrounding terrain that is well suited to trekking and birdwatching. The appeal comes from the combination of a natural cascade, green forest edges and a quieter atmosphere away from heavily developed sightseeing areas.

Older Keralam Tourism information notes that the falls can dry up in summer, so visitors should not assume strong water flow throughout the year. The Keralam Revenue Department's Kidanganad Village Office identifies Chethalayam Water Falls as a main tourist place in the local area and confirms Chethalayam Post under Sulthan Bathery taluk. Anyone visiting should check current access and weather conditions, wear suitable footwear for wet or uneven ground and treat the trip as a nature outing rather than a guaranteed swimming destination.
