Kalhatty Falls
கல்லட்டி நீர்வீழ்ச்சி
A roughly 36 m waterfall beside the steep hairpin road to Masinagudi, with a viewing platform that takes in the whole valley.
The falls are near Kalhatty Pass, about 13 km north of Ooty. From the parking area, a few minutes of steps lead to the viewpoint. The Kalhatty Pass road has 36 hairpin bends and very steep gradients, and accidents are common. Non-local vehicles are often restricted from going downhill or required to use low gear. Drivers should take great care, and hiring a car with a driver is recommended. Visitors can continue on to Masinagudi and Mudumalai from here.
