Introduction

The roar of this waterfall cascading down a steep rock about 2000 meters (6667 feet) above sea level can be heard from a distance! The thundering Power House Waterfalls is about 18 kilometers (11 miles) from Munnar, on the way to Thekkady. The verdant Western mountain ranges add to its scenic beauty, making it an ideal stopover on the way to Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. The torrents of water plunging down Power House falls is said to emanate from Devikulam, a pastoral hill station few kilometers from Munnar. The waters of the fall are believed to have curative powers, and acts as a natural massage.

The waterfall is a spectacle when visited soon after monsoons (monsoon lasts from June to September), when its white foaming water thunders down in torrents from such an elevation onto fern-fringed pools. With the spray of water on your face, you will be bemused by its sheer might. Take a stroll around the area, photograph the waterfall from different perspectives, and soak up the natural ambience. Power House Waterfalls is truly a refreshing break on the way to Periyar from Munnar, and suitably rejuvenates you for your journey ahead.
