Kakkayam
waterfalls
Kakkayam waterfall located in the forests near Idinjaar in
Thiruvananthapuram district.To reach Kakkayam from Thiruvananthapuram, one has to come via Palode, which
is about 35 kms from the city. From Palode take a deviation to reach
Peringamala. Take a right turn from Peringamala to reach Kurisadi via Idinjaar,
12 km away. Since there are no signboards leading to the falls, from Kurisadi,
one may seek local assistance to reach the spot of the waterfalls.
In and around the Kakkayam waterfalls, it is an ambiance that defies words.
The waterfall is part of the Mankayam stream that originates in the
Agasthyavanam forest. A pool formed at the base of the waterfall is indeed
worth a dip and the cool water simply enlivens your body. While attempting to
cross the stream to reach the waterfall, one needs to watch the steps, as there
are moss covered rocks, which are quite slippery.
