-There are a few small waterfalls in this area - the nicer ones being Vattaparai Falls and Kalikesam falls. There is a small [[Kali]] temple, next to the falls. This is a very serene and undeveloped place with only one small tea stall. One can enjoy water rushing through small mountain streams, ferns and pebbles in the rainforests. The falls are surrounded by forest on all sides and forms part of an active animal corridor. The long stream is pollution-free. People are allowed to take a natural bath here and it is believed that the water from the stream has some medicinal effects.{{fact|date=August 2020}}
-This is a serene and peaceful place. It is unlike the most popular falls in this district, the [[Tirparappu Water Falls]] on the [[Kodayar]] River, which has become a typical crowded tourist spot.<ref>M Sumith (3/27/2006) blogspot.com, retrieved 3/31/2007 [http://mkulabjournal.blogspot.com/ "''The Inscrutable Kalikesam''"]</ref>
