Detail InformationEdit

Courtallam Falls (known as Kuttralam Falls in the local language) is located in the Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu.

The water from these falls is believed to cure skin and nervous disorders, and this fact along with the numerous ayurvedic massage parlours located in the town has earned Courtallam the title of Spa of South India. The nine falls are Main Falls, Small Falls, Chembakadevi Falls, Honey Falls, Five Falls, Tiger Falls, Old Courtallam Falls, New Falls, and Orchard Falls.
