Formed over the Vazhikkadavu River, a tributary of the Meenachil River, this picturesque waterfall remains unexplored even though it is situated en route to Vagamon. Located inside a private rubber plantation, this enchanting beauty is a sight for sore eyes.
The remote setting warrants an inevitable hike through the scenic estate. The narrow winding path that extends for almost two kilometres will surely excite adventure enthusiasts. The rocky terrain demands your attention but the vision waiting for you at the end is worth all the trouble. Surrounded by blue mountains and lush greenery, Marmala Falls will take your breath away with its irresistible beauty.
The tremendous power of the falling water has gouged a deep plunge pool in the rock bed at the foot of the falls. The glassy emerald pool is almost 30 feet deep. This depth combined with the strength of the falling water makes the Marmala Falls not suitable for bathing. But the soothing surroundings more than makeup for this by providing a space where you can spend an undisturbed day away from the turmoil of daily life. The pearly water cascading down the rocks, the azure sky and the green surroundings will surely turn the pictures that you take here into beautiful works of art.
