- Kodaikanal is inarguably one of the most popular hill stations in South India. It is known for its lakes, forested valleys, pine forest walks and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. Apart from these mainstream attractions, Kodaikanal is surrounded by many beautiful offbeat places that are often overlooked by many. The small villages in and around are equally beautiful and have many places to explore. One of the main perks of exploring such places is that they are less crowded and more often, you’ll have the entire place to yourself.
The Kookal Waterfalls trek or also known as the Thoothur Waterfalls trek takes you to a hidden world which you not have thought of at all. And this trek starts from the beautiful village of Kookal. Located just 35 km away from Kodaikanal, the village is surrounded by Palani hills. The village leaves you in awe of its scenic beauty. The lush greenery and an aura of the entire village only gives you a glimpse of what you’re about to experience.
The journey from Kodaikanal to Kookal village is very serene. The thick pine and eucalyptus trees on both sides of the road form an avenue landscape and provide natural shade. Early morning drive on this route is a paradise for someone who loves driving.
As you enter the village, you’re welcomed by a picturesque lake called the Kookal lake. Hills on the bank elevate its beauty to another level. The floating carpet of lotus plantations adds to the whole charm of this place. The water is bright blue and on a clear day, you can witness the reflections of these hills over the lake.
Kookal falls trek takes you through mud trails initially and then through a dense forest. The forest trail consisting of lush green bushes almost engulfs you as you walk past them. The roar of the waterfall can be heard throughout the forest trail. It’s soothing and helps you find the right direction as well.
The total trek distance is of 6 km and is termed as an easy trek. A perfect trek for beginners to start trekking or even for experienced trekkers to witness this beautiful trek.
Note: Two elephants have often been spotted in this waterfall area and the forest around. The local villagers say that they are often spotted swimming in the pool or sitting around the waterfall area. If you are lucky enough you might just spot them! Just make sure you don't create any loud noise trekking through the forest section.
The area around the flow of the waterfall can easily be climbed. It makes a great backdrop for the pictures. You can feel the mist from the flow of the water. It is indeed lovely to stand up there after the trek. The pool from up there looks tempting to jump into but it is recommended to not to, as the water is quite stagnant.

Definitely one of the most mesmerising experience of my life. Beautifully captured by BingBist, and because of you I can relive the complete experience everyday.
Great composition, great editing, great music selection, and not-so-great puns. Great job folks. Wonderful.

Thanks Bilal❤️
Hi Amazing video it is. By which time have you all started the trekking(best time) & how much time it is consumed for up and down?
We started early morning 7:30 am. Try to be at the start of trekking point by 7 am if you wanna avoid sun in case of a sunny day. Ideally keep 2/2.5 hours for the trek 1 way for a relaxed ans average fitness person, keep lots of water and munchies as you will not get anything during the trek.
Do subscribe to the channel❤️❤️

Hi there, can you elaborate about the stay which is the way down to the falls trek. You said 600 per day right. Is it per person or for the room. Do they have restroom over there?
It is per person, per bed. They have a restroom but not attached to the room! Its pretty basic

Is that falls closed now or is it allowed for everyone..?
It is officially closed but locals will help you to trek till there! Do subscribe to our channel if you liked the video
Are they allowing us to visit the Thoothur falls ??
No restrictions ryt??
Yes officially its closed, most villagers will tell you its closed. Walk till the kookal village (there is a volleyball court - use that as a landmark). There ask locals- they can take you for the hike- ask for Davamani or Kumaresh👍👍

Hey Hi Neeraj, you need to walk till kookal village centre. The landmark is ask or look for the volleyball court. Once you reach there you will find local villagers /guides approaching you. Make sure you tell them that you wanna visit the big falls kr Thoothoor falls and not the small kookal falls
