Kutladampatti Falls
குட்லாடம்பட்டி அருவி
A waterfall about 25 meters high at the foot of Sirumalai Hills, full of water after the rains and a weekend swimming spot for Madurai locals.
The waterfall lies near Vadipatti, about 35 km northwest of Madurai. It drops roughly 25 meters down a rock face in the forest, with a pool below where visitors can wade. Managed by the forestry department, it charges a small entrance fee and is reached on foot along a forest track from the car park. Water flow depends entirely on the monsoon. October to December, after the northeast monsoon, is the best time to visit, while in summer it is often only a trickle. Monkeys are common, so keep an eye on your belongings.
