About Valamthode Waterfalls

Valamthode Waterfalls is a remote nature attraction in the Valamthode area of Chaliyar Grama Panchayat, Malappuram district, Kerala. DTPC Nilambur includes Valamthode among the trekking and waterfall destinations of the Nilambur region, while Kerala government records describe Valamthode as a hilly area on the Malappuram–Kozhikode border. Official local records use Kakkadampoyil postal PIN 673604 for Valamthode.

Reaching the waterfall may involve travel through steep, forested or lightly developed terrain, so the journey is part of the experience. Seasonal rainfall greatly affects the waterfall’s flow and also the safety of trails and stream crossings. Visitors should seek reliable local guidance, follow forest or local-body access rules and avoid attempting unfamiliar routes during heavy rain.

The attraction can be combined with Kakkadampoyil and other eastern Malappuram highland destinations for a nature-focused itinerary.
