Why this place stands out

Twin waterfall attractions in the Achankovil forest region of Kollam, combining Manalar's seasonal cascade with nearby Kumbhavurutty Waterfalls in a Western Ghats eco-tourism setting.

Kumbhavurutty and Manalar Waterfalls form a popular waterfall experience in the Achankovil forest region of Kollam district, Keralam, close to the Western Ghats. Manalar is described by DTPC Kollam as a seasonal, comparatively slow-moving waterfall, while the Achankovil falls in this landscape descend from a notable height. Kumbhavurutty Waterfalls lies roughly two kilometres away, allowing visitors to experience more than one cascade within the same forest belt.

The surrounding Konni-Achankovil landscape is known for dense vegetation, streams and wildlife habitat, and the Forest Department has supported eco-tourism activity in the area. Reaching the falls may involve walking or trekking through forest terrain, so conditions can vary with rain and season. The attraction is best appreciated for its natural pools, green surroundings and the sound of water in a relatively remote setting.

Visitors should follow local forest instructions and avoid risky access during heavy monsoon flow.
