What travellers are saying
- Priyanka9987Mumbai, India521 contributionsHighly recommended trek/ walk and must visit places near Wayanad. The trek takes about 2.5 hrs with a 6-yr old. Takes 20mons till entry point, 40 mins for the uphill trek till the highest point and 20 mins downhill back to parking
The trek is steep but has many places to take a break, with greenery all around with great views. The view from the top is beautiful and the cave drawings are must see. Take the help of a guide to understand what they mean and they also take very good pics of you. Start early by 8-9am and be done by noon. Weekends are crowded with school and college groups..quite touristy entrance and a great place to shop for things back home in the form of banana chips chocolates eucalyptus oil and spicesWritten 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

When we went there, we could see a lot of low clouds which gave an excellent view.
Other than this there isn’t much else here.Written 30 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Also , best to arrive early and leave before maximum crowds reach here. One needs to climb down a bit to reach the waterfall. So conserve your energy for the way back up. Also, the entry ticket needs to be paid in cash and they expect exact change.Written 29 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Prity AgrawalBengaluru, India152 contributionsThe tea garden trek followed by the stream and finally to the Banasura hill view trek is a quick 1-1.5 hr trek organised by Banasura Hill resort but it’s worth trying if you want to experience everything about the nature in such a short time.Written 15 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Surendran PChennai District, India197 contributionsA Nice Cute small waterfall falling from the top in to a small pool. You have to walk down through few steps in a muddy and rocky walkway. You can reach the bottom of the fall just by holding a single rope walking on a rocky slope’ which is uneven. But you can enjoy the fresh stream when you reach the bottom. Aged people can enjoy the falls from distance not getting down / Not risking. There are staffs available near the falls to help. Toilet facilities are available which is neat. You can enjoy lime soda at the shops, a must try.Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mihir GajjarSurat, India16 contributionsWe did coracal ride in thie river and it was full of water even in Oct which was great thing to see.

- niluanuChennai (Madras), India671 contributionsThis waterfall is located a short distance from Banasura Sagar Dam. Parking is available near the Forest Division ticket counter. You do need to walk some distance from the parking to reach the falls. The path is undulating and not in very good condition. You need to be very watchfulWritten 29 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- V Sridhar SBengaluru, India137 contributionsA good walk around the lake would take 30-45 minutes. Not very large crowds do the round. Good place for some photography.
Boat rides - like at all venues - would be a longish wait. There is a small ice cream place. A park for kids - swings, slides, climbing setup.
No need of taking the short diversion just to visit the lake. However it may fit in if you have time to spare before or after the long climb up the lakkidi ghat section.Written 15 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place seems to be slightly over hyped though the place has natural beauty.. whole Wayanad is blessed with natural beautyWritten 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Climber592445599042 contributionsThis place is closed and the locals are very cagey, but after considerable effort and a very dangerous trek through a mostly non existent path, I was at least able to get down to the waterfall and get a great view of the mountains on top.. It wasn't the same view as the view point but it was pretty amazing, particularly getting so close to the waterfall.
That said, it wasn't safe and I wouldn't do it again.. Especially alone.
If you're really set on seeing this place, it's beatiful but it's not easy and you want to start early because you could easily get lostWritten 12 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Faisal Mohamed AliBengaluru, India298 contributionsIt's a small average dam which is not the main attraction, but the garden and adventure games are.
It's Kerala's longest zipline and a giant swing that puts your guts into test. The garden has some nice photo spots.
The area of improvement would definitely be a dedicated parking space, and pathway/walkway near the dam. Possibly can be achieved if they increased the entry ticket prices which is quite cheap at Rs 30 for adults.Written 6 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
