Geography & terrain

Meenmutty Falls lie in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, 45 km from Trivandrum and 30 km from Ponmudi — the three-tier waterfall of the region, its trek, the pools and the forest set on the Ghats' western slope.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the region's forest life — the three-tier waterfall of the Kallar's streams and the trek of the forest department, with the falls' modern role as the trek-and-swim stop of the Ponmudi circuit and the home of the 2 km forest trail; the falls' history of the bamboo rafts and the river's edge, gives Meenmutty its trek-falls character.
