Meenmutty Falls
മീൻമുട്ടി വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടം
One of Wayanad’s largest waterfalls, its roughly 300-metre drop split into three tiers through dense forest. Reaching it requires a trek through the woods.
The falls lie near Vadavanchal and are managed by the forest department and the local community. After buying a ticket, visitors follow a guide along a roughly 2 km forest trail to the viewpoint. Some sections are steep and slippery. To see the upper and middle tiers in full, you need to visit the Nilimala viewpoint on the opposite hill. The falls are often closed during the rainy season and periods of landslide risk. Since a landslide in 2024, the opening status of nearby sites has changed frequently, so check before you go.
