About this experience

The majestic Kakkayam Dam, built across the Chaliyar River, is a breathtaking sight. The reservoir formed by the dam offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and birdwatching. The name "Urakkuzhi" means "melting hole," which beautifully describes the way water disappears into narrow rock formations, creating a stunning visual effect. It’s a peaceful, offbeat destination perfect for nature lovers. The waterfall is located about 1-2 km from the Kakkayam Valley ticket counter. You can reach it via a short hike(recommended) or by hiring a jeep.
