Activities

Thommankuthu welcomes adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. While the former can immerse themselves in thrilling adventures, the latter get to live and breathe in the pristine nature abounding in the aromas of the woods and the coolness of the mountain stream.

Thommankuthu is a good place for trekking in Kerala. The trekkers get to experience the coolness of the mountain stream and the lushness of the Thommankuthu Forest during the trek. The enchanting silence of the place is another feature that makes the trek unique. The seven-stepped waterfall along with several other miniature cascades and rapids make the place highly sensual.

Travel Advisories/Warnings
  • UK Safety Warnings
  • US Safety Warnings
Safety and security
Crime

Take sensible precautions to protect yourself and your property against petty crime. Don’t leave passports in rental cars, especially in the boot, as there have been a high number of thefts by gangs targeting the vehicles of those who appear to be tourists. Violent crime, including gun crime, rarely involves tourists, but you should take care when travelling in unfamiliar areas. Avoid walking through less travelled areas alone, especially at night. You can find public advisories and information about recent incidents on the websites of local law enforcement authorities. Incidents of mass shooting can occur, but account for a very small percentage of homicide deaths. Read the US Department of Homeland Security website, which has published advice on what to do in such an incident. Research your destination before travelling, be vigilant, and follow the advice of local authorities. Crime associated with the illegal drugs trade is a major issue in Mexican states bordering Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. Some foreign nationals have been among the victims of crime in the border regions, but there is no evidence to suggest they have been targeted because of their nationality.

Road travel

Traffic laws vary from state to state. If you’re planning to drive in the USA, check the driving rules in the state(s) you’ll be visiting. In most states, a full UK driving licence is sufficient (provisional licences aren’t accepted). However, some states may also require an International Driving Permit (IDP), which you can get over the counter at the Post Office. The USA doesn’t issue IDPs to foreign visitors, so you’ll need to get one before you travel. If you’re hiring a vehicle, check requirements with your rental company before you travel. Driving is on the right hand side of the road. Check the weather conditions before embarking on a long journey, particularly in mountainous and isolated areas where there is increased likelihood of snowfall, or in dry desert areas where you may need extra water and petrol stations could be scarce. Do not sleep in your car by the roadside or in rest areas and avoid leaving any items on display in your car. Try to stay on main roads and use well-lit car parks. If you’re involving in a collision while driving, indicate to the other driver to follow you to a public place and call 911 for the police. Petrol stations that do not display the price of fuel usually charge considerably more than the national average for a gallon of fuel. They’re often found close to tourist destinations and airports, and notoriously near to Orlando International Airport. In 2019 there were 36,120 road deaths in the USA (source: Department for Transport). This equates to 11 road deaths per 100,000 of population and compares to the UK average of 2.7 road deaths per 100,000 of population in 2019.

Air travel

Before you travel, check the security measures you’re likely to face at the airport on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website. The TSA has a helpline number to help passengers with disabilities and medical conditions before they fly. Don’t make flippant remarks about bombs or terrorism, especially when passing through US airports. Safety concerns have been raised about INSEL Air. The UK Government, like other governments (including the USA and The Netherlands), prohibits its staff from using the airline while safety checks are being carried out.

Destination Description

Thommankuthu Waterfalls is located in the Idukki District of Kerala. This seven-step waterfall is known for its scenic beauty and for being a hub of exhilarating adventure sports. The place is a beautiful eco-tourism region, has numerous picnic spots. In addition to a series of waterfalls, there are many viewpoints and caves in the area.

Detailed Description

Thommankuthu Waterfalls is located 18 km from Thodupuzha Town in Idukki. It is a sequence of 12 falls, locally known as the "kuthus." Thommankuthu stretches over an approximate area of 5 kilometres and has a drop of 40 metres. The 12 kuthus of varying heights present an exceptional view as they cross through profuse evergreen forests. The waterfall is named after Thommachan Kuruvinakunnel who discovered the place. The diverse wildlife and vegetation of the place coupled with its constant burble enchants the visitors into a trance. Trekking in the place offers an exotic experience through the sleepy tribal hamlets and eerie caves. During summer, the falls are suited for refreshing baths. However, bathing is restricted during the monsoon owing to the whopping increase in the water level.
