Punkavanam Waterfalls tumble beside the Vettathur Poonkavanam Dam, offering misty cascades, mossy rock textures, and lush Western Ghats greenery. Visit post-monsoon for fuller flow; weekday mornings for softer light and fewer crowds. Reaching viewpoints may require short walks over uneven paths; no special entry permits are typically needed—confirm locally at arrival.
