About Power House Waterfalls

Power House Waterfalls are located in the Chinnakanal region of Idukki district along the scenic road connecting Munnar and Thekkady. Keralam Tourism also refers to the attraction as Chinnakanal Waterfall and explains that the water originates from Sita Devi Lake in Devikulam before descending through rocky high-range terrain. Rather than forming only a narrow vertical drop, the water spreads over sloping rock faces and boulders, with the character of the cascade becoming stronger during wetter periods.

Its roadside location makes Power House Waterfalls a convenient break on a longer Idukki journey, especially for travellers moving between the Munnar and Thekkady tourism zones. Surrounding tea plantations, forested slopes and cool mountain air add to the visual appeal. Visitors should remain cautious around wet rock surfaces and changing water levels, treating the site primarily as a natural scenic stop rather than a controlled bathing facility.
