- Old Courtallam Falls: This waterfall is situated in a relatively secluded valley, where water drops from a height of 200 feet into a rock-cut basin. It is favored by those who prefer a quieter environment for relaxation and photography. The mist created by the falling water adds a mystical charm to the surrounding forest.

The area around the falls is developed with seating and basic amenities, providing a comfortable spot for families to enjoy the natural breeze.
