Thalaiyar Falls, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu.

Thalaiyar Falls, also known as Rat Tail Falls is located in the Palani Hills of Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu State, South India. It is 975 ft (297 m) tall and is the highest waterfall in Tamil Nadu, the sixth … from the Dum Dum Rock viewpoint on the Batalugundu-Kodaikanal Ghat Road, 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) away to the west.

There are walls at the edge of the peak on either side of Thalaiyar Falls, focusing the flow of water into an enhanced rat tail contour. You can walk along the wall and approach the center of the falls. Below one wall is a massive flat rock. If you make your way to the rock, you can look down and spot a gurgling river making its way through the verdant forest. If you gaze up, you can see the waterfall, which at this point is pretty quiet.
