About Paloor Kotta Waterfalls

Paloor Kotta Waterfalls is a scenic two-level waterfall at Kadungapuram in the Perinthalmanna region of Malappuram district, Keralam. Keralam Tourism describes the falls as being set amid verdant woods and records a local historical tradition that Tipu Sultan once took refuge in the area. Malappuram District Administration also lists Paloorkotta among the district’s waterfall attractions and notes that the period from June to December is especially suitable for experiencing the falls.

Government school and election records support Kadungapuram’s PIN 679321 and its Perinthalmanna-area location. The attraction combines a wooded approach with cascading seasonal water, making it popular for short nature trips and photography. Visitors should treat the Tipu Sultan connection as local tradition rather than as a fully documented historical event.

As with other monsoon waterfalls, rocks can be slippery and currents can become dangerous; visitors should remain in safe viewing areas and follow local instructions.
