The scenic beauty and abundance in hills and mountains make the state of Kerala a very picturesque holiday spot. The large and small waterfalls splashing down the mountain side mask the woods of the Western Ghats while adding to nature's beauty. Considering its God's own country, the waterfalls seem like a blessing from nature sent straight from above and quite literally. The Tusharagiri, Athirapally, Palaruvi and Vazhachal are amongst the most important waterfalls in the state, having many vacationers dropping by. It is best to visit these waterfalls during or post the monsoons and in winter.
