Makkiyad Meenmutty Waterfalls

Makkiyad Meenmutty Waterfalls is a natural waterfall attraction in the Makkiyad–Thondernad area of Wayanad district, Keralam. Government Revenue Department records place Makkiyad and nearby Kanjirangad in Mananthavady taluk with PIN code 670731, while current travel listings place the falls along the Korome–Karimbil side of Thondernad. The setting is distinctly rural and green, with forested slopes, rocks and plantation country forming the approach to the cascade.

Unlike the better-known Meenmutty waterfall near Vaduvanchal and the Banasura Meenmutty waterfall, this is the Makkiyad waterfall in the northern Wayanad region, so the locality name is important when planning directions. Visitors generally come for the waterfall scenery, short nature walks, photography and the experience of travelling through a quieter part of the district. The route can include uneven or muddy stretches, especially during wet weather, and waterfall conditions can change quickly after heavy rain.

Travellers should check local access and safety information before entering forest or slippery sections. Makkiyad Meenmutty is a useful stop for people exploring Thondernad, Makkiyad and the broader Mananthavady tourism circuit.
