Vengathanam Waterfalls, Chennadu, Kottayam

Highlights

Vengathanam Waterfalls (വേങ്ങത്താനം അരുവി) is one of the least explored waterfalls in Kottayam District, Kerala located near Chennadu Malika. Chennadu Malika can be accessed from Chemmalamattom (3km) or Erattupetta (11km). The Vengathanam waterfalls is a 3 step waterfall and the last fall cascades down to a depth of 70 ft. Even though it offers a breathtaking view of the falls its actually a dangerous site with no safety measures.

The place does not have proper road access, so one has to either use 4 wheeler or 2 wheeler. There will be bus service from Erattupetta to Chennadu Malika though not frequent. The road from Chemmalamattom to Vengathanam waterfalls was recently reconstructed.

Vengathanam waterfalls is also called Vengathanam peruthen aruvi or Chennad Waterfalls (possibly only in google maps).
