Courtallam Falls, also known as Main Falls, is a magnificent waterfall nearly 100 meters high and 50 meters wide, offering a spectacular sight for visitors. Open 24 hours during peak season, it is located near the Courtallanathar temple. Five Falls, located 4 km from the main falls, divides the water into five parts during the normal season, creating a stunning natural display. Pazhathotta Aruvi Falls, also known as the 'VIP Falls,' requires permission for bathing except for politicians and bureaucrats. Chitraruvi Falls, close to the main falls, is a safe and small cascade ideal for children. Honey Falls, deep inside the forest at 1000 feet above sea level, is named after the presence of honeycombs in the area. Shenbagadevi Falls, situated 600 feet above sea level, features the Temple of Shenbagadevi. Tiger Falls, located around 1 km from the main falls, is an artificial creation, safe for children and visitors. Old Courtallam Falls, 8 km from the main falls, offers a beautiful route with lush greenery, children's pools, and a cost-effective tourist destination. The location and relatively low cost of Courtallam Falls make it a frugal tourist paradise. India Post, Tamilnadu Circle, issued a PPC to commemorate the Courtallam Water Falls as an active PPC.
