Ulakkai Aruvi (also referred to as Rod Falls)[1] is a waterfall on the Western Ghats. This area is in the Asambu reserve forest, in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu.
Location
Ulakkai Aruvi Falls is located about 39 km (24 mi) from Kanyakumari and about 19 km (12 mi) from Nagercoil, near Azhagiapandiapuram. Situated in the forested hills of the Western Ghats, the fall can be reached by an hour-long trek from the base of the hills through a rocky, forested area. Ulakkai Aruvi Falls has two waterfalls, one being lower and the other higher. The falls are fed by the Ulakkai, a spring originating from the nearby Anamalai Hills.[2]
Accessibility
The nearest road point is the village of Perunthalaikadu, with bus services available from Nagercoil town to Azhagiapandipuram. From Azhagiapandipuram, Ulakkai Aruvi Falls are accessible only by foot via a 2 km trek.
A popular time to visit Ulakkai Aruvi is just after the monsoon season when the falls are at their fullest.[3]
