The Palaruvi Falls is a beautiful waterfall surrounded by the Western Ghats and located in Kollam, Kerala. Its name, Palaruvi, translates to “stream of milk”, which depicts the water's milky shade as it runs through rocks and falls down cliffs.
Palaruvi waterfalls are one of the most majestic waterfalls in Kollam, offering picturesque views and a serene environment, making it one of the best places to visit in Kollam. Visitors can also take a dip in the pond that is located at the base of the waterfall and soak in the raw beauty of nature.
The Palaruvi waterfall is managed by the Kerala Forest Department and is known for its tranquil and pollution-free environment. The water in this pond is believed to be mineral-rich and to have medicinal properties. Visiting the waterfall requires trekking of around 15-20 minutes starting from the parking area and going through the forest, packed with little thrill and adventure.
This waterfall is less crowded and is one of the off-beat locations in Kerala to visit. With lush greenery and fewer visitors, you can pack a picnic to this waterfall and enjoy your family time here.
