Theerthaparai Trek overview
Explore Theerthaparai’s Hidden Waterfall:
Tucked away in the forested slopes of Tamil Nadu’s Western Ghats, Theerthaparai is a tranquil escape for those who crave time in nature. At its heart lies the striking Theerthaparai Waterfall, a 350-foot natural marvel surrounded by dense trees and vibrant wildlife. This lesser-known destination in Tenkasi district is perfect for travellers seeking calm away from crowded tourist spots. Since the waterfall isn’t accessible by road, it retains its untouched charm. Visitors can reconnect with nature, unwind to the soothing sound of falling water, and spot a variety of native bird species in this serene setting.
Trek Along Forest Trails to the Waterfall:
Reach the waterfall via a rewarding 6 km trek that winds through rustic forest paths. The route passes beneath towering tree canopies, offering chances to glimpse rare birds like Hornbills and flowerpeckers in their natural habitat. If you're lucky, you might catch sight of the magnificent Southern Birdwing, India’s largest butterfly — a vibrant sight that adds colour and beauty to your walk. The trek, which takes around 3 hours, follows a moderately easy trail suitable for most fitness levels.
