About Catherine Waterfalls in Coonoor

Catherine Falls, also referred to as St. Catherine Water Falls in Tamil Nadu, is a major attraction in Coonoor, for locals as well as for tourists. The River Kallar of Tamil Nadu descends as the Geddhehaada Halla stream, and forms the Catherine Falls. Catherine water falls is a double-cascaded waterfall, wherein there are two floors of the falls. The upper floor of the waterfall drops to the ground. Catherine Falls near Kotagiri is the second highest waterfall in the Nilgiri Mountains. It is also one of the best places to relax for an evening, with friends and family. The picturesque views that can be seen from here are a major attraction for those looking to spend some time in the lap of nature.

There are also people who love to visit this place for the trekking opportunities it presents. People trek from places such as Kotagiri, to reach the summit of the Catherine waterfalls. Treks from Aravenu are also quite popular, especially for novices who find the simpler routes a delight to walk on. For the special Longwood Shola Forest trek, one has to take special permission from the District Forest Officer before embarking on it. This place can also be seen from Dolphin’s Nose Peak, another popular viewpoint of Coonoor. When touring across Tamil Nadu, make sure to pay a visit to Catherine Falls in Coonoor. Remember that the best time to visit Catherine Falls is from October to May, when the rains have blessed the region and made the river and the waterfalls swell up, so plan accordingly.

Ankit's 2 days trip to Coonoor

Booking experience was very smooth and easy. Our stay was excellent. The resort was worth a 5 star. Food was awesome,staffs were very friendly and helpful. The ambience was superb, location is very good. We faced some problem regarding the car and the driver. The person is very money minded and did skip couple of places. Please try to assign a young driver next time. Also, take the full responsibility to pay the amount to the transportation and the resort/hotel next time. Please assign a good car next time as we had to wait for more than 2 hours in pykara as the car did not respond because of battery problem. Please keep these couple of points the next time I am planning any tour. The stay The places we had visited

Kaushik's 8 days trip to Coonoor

The entire trip was planned really well and we were very happy with the arrangements. Our cab and driver was very helpful and he ensured we covered all the locations that are planned. The hotel in Kanakumari and Pondicherry could have been better as the break fast and rooms were not expected , the best arrangement was in Rameswaram and the hotel Arjuna was really good. The only challenge which i see is i did not get the trip invoice requested for claiming my TA and did not get any support from the agent. It would have been a great if i was supported on this front.
