Visit to Palaka Paandi Waterfalls,Kollengode, Palakad ( Kerala, India )

We reached this small town called Kollengode by 1 pm.

Kollengode is 23 km away from the district Headquarters Palakkad and 52 km away from Trichur.

Kollengode Main Road Junction

and after lunch, we continued our journey though Pollachi Road. After going just a bit over a kilometer from Kollengode junction, we took a right turn and after some 6 km we reached this place after this point we should travel 2 km by foot to reach the Palakapaandi Waterfalls.

You can see� a small hut there occupied by a local farmer and his family, you can ask permission to park your vehicle there and then take a walk to Palakapaandi Waterfalls site. If it is a monsoon season, you have to cross several very small streams to reach there.

Please do not encourage kids below 12 years to travel to this place. This is not a place for them. This 2 kilometer walking route is going through Mango Plantations owned by private parties� and please do not try to get any mangoes and trespass their boundaries, just take the walk enjoying the pleasant surroundings.

Palaka Paandi Waterfalls

Before reaching the actual waterfalls you can see the construction works are being done there, in connection with the Palakapaandi Project. The project is to take the water from the foothills to a dam that is 3 km away from this site and use it for navigational purposes.

The waterfall is very good one. We enjoyed the falls and climbed some distance up along side the falls and got so very rare views of the Palakkad Gap from over there.
