Seetharkundu Falls lies near Kollengode in Kerala's Palakkad district, below the Nelliyampathy hills. Its green setting was what drew me to write this short travel note.
Water, Hills and Greenery
Water descends from Nelliyampathy into a valley surrounded by dense vegetation and wildlife habitat.
For me, the attraction was the combination of water and the hills around it, rather than a long list of activities.
The Story Behind the Name
A local legend connects this place with Rama, Lakshmana and Sita. In the story, they stayed in the area, and Sita used the stream's water for worship and bathing.
The falls' name is associated with that tradition. It is a cultural and mythological account, rather than a claim of documented historical events.
A Note About Walking Routes
The stream drew my attention towards the hills of Nelliyampathy.
Check local guidance, permissions and weather before entering forest or waterfall areas.
