Aintharuvi (Five Falls), Courtallam, Thirunelveli
Aintharuvi
is the most preferred and visited waterfalls by the tourists. These falls split
into five sections before cascading vertically at Aravankadu Pass. The
waterfall is situated 5 Kms away from the bus stand in the western side of the
hills. There is an Aiyappan, Ayyanar, Vinayaka temple and Lord Murugan temple
in front of these falls. The water emerges as five branches and flows as a
single stream, which looks like Adisesha (five headed serpent). Three of the
five falls are open for men, whereas women can have access of two falls.
