About Vazhvanthol Waterfalls
Vazhvanthol Waterfalls is a forested waterfall destination in the highlands near Vithura and Bonacaud, roughly 46 kilometres from Thiruvananthapuram according to Keralam Tourism. The surrounding landscape belongs to the Western Ghats foothills, where dense vegetation, streams and old plantation areas create a rewarding setting for trekking. Keralam Tourism also identifies Vazhvanthol as a scenic stop on the route toward Bonacaud.
Access typically involves a forest approach rather than simple roadside viewing, so current Forest Department procedures, guide requirements, weather and opening conditions should be checked before travel. The attraction is particularly suited to visitors interested in hiking, birdlife, forest scenery and photography. Monsoon conditions can make rocks, paths and streams hazardous, so visitors should not treat the waterfall as an unrestricted swimming or adventure area and should follow local safety guidance at all times.
