About this Place
Kalhatty Falls, also known as Kalahasti Falls, is a captivating natural attraction nestled in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu. This beautiful waterfall cascades down from an elevation of about 40 meters (120+ feet) on the slopes of Kalhatty Mountain, part of the Sigur Plateau.
The surrounding area is renowned for its rich biodiversity and abundant wildlife, making it an excellent destination for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can spot Bisons, Spotted Deers, Wild Buffaloes, Panthers, Sambars, and a variety of hill birds, making it a prime location for birdwatching and wildlife spotting.
The path leading to the bottom of the falls, while rewarding, can be slippery and narrow, requiring caution. The falls offer a refreshing escape and a picturesque backdrop for photography and peaceful contemplation.
