Water Falls list in coutrallam
1. Peraruvi (Main Falls) The most popular and frequented waterfalls are the Main falls. Not only during the season, but also during the period November to January, the crest receives the Northeastern monsoon emptying itself on the slopes to swell the falls and the Chittar River. From a height of 300 ft., the Chittar River makes its last descent to the plains. http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#AlbumZoom.aspx?uid=5536444923815580662&pid=1223094671663&aid=1223068996$pid=1223094671663
