It's a perfect spot for nature walks, picnics, and peaceful getaways.
Nyayamakad Waterfalls, located about 10 kilometers from Munnar on the Munnar–Rajamala road, is a breathtaking natural attraction nestled in the heart of Kerala’s Western Ghats.
This cascading waterfall tumbles from a height of around 1,600 meters, creating a spectacular visual and a serene atmosphere that draws nature lovers, trekkers, and photographers alike. Set amidst lush tea plantations and dense forest cover, Nyayamakad is not just a waterfall—it's a complete nature escape.
The surrounding area is rich in biodiversity and offers refreshing hiking trails that wind through the greenery, making it a perfect day trip for those seeking peace and adventure. The cool mist from the falls, combined with the crisp mountain air, creates a rejuvenating experience for visitors. It’s also a popular picnic spot for families and groups.
The waterfall lies close to the Eravikulam National Park, adding to its appeal for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. In the nearby streams, trout fishing is a favored activity, making it a versatile destination for both leisure and sport. The best time to visit is during or right after the monsoon season, when the falls are in full flow and the surrounding landscape is at its greenest.
Nyayamakad remains relatively less crowded compared to other tourist spots in Munnar, offering a quieter, more immersive experience in nature. Whether you're trekking to the base, enjoying the views from the top, or simply relaxing by the falls, Nyayamakad provides a refreshing escape into Kerala’s highland beauty.
