This is a must do adventure. Head out to Lakkam Waterfalls for the time of your life. Experience the exhilaration of getting up close and wet in the cascading waters. It’s a five minutes’ drive from the Munnar town and the waterfall is surrounded by Vaga trees. Vaga trees are widely found in Kerala and the forest is home to local birds and animals. The waterfall originates from the Eravikulam Plateau and pours down, creating a lot of mist. Hear the crashing water and enjoy the spectacular views. Listen to the thundering roar of gallons of water falling every second right before your eyes. Feel the mighty rush of the mist on your face. Soak up every moment of this amazing adventure. Indulge in nature's beauty and bounty at these pristine waterfalls, situated amidst Munnar hills.

The beautiful water falls forms puddles in crevices and you can take a bath here.  Watch out for small rocks which can be slippery. Also you can walk across the puddle to the falls but wear water shoes because it can be dicey.  The water is very clear so just sit and admire the greenery around. You can hire a guide and trek through the dense forest. When the Vaga trees are in full bloom the whole of Vagavurai valley is covered in bright red.  The forest has unique blend of vegetation which is due to the valleys and mountainous topography. It is conserved and protected by the government. The forests are a safe haven for a large number of birds and animals and migratory birds as well.
