Hello!
Dhoni Waterfalls
Dhoni village is located about 15 Kilometres from Palakkad town in Kerala and this place is famous for Dhoni Waterfall and the Western Ghat forests. This waterfall is a gem for tourists looking to spend a calm and leisurely day. This less known paradise is definitely a must visit place in Kerala. Despite the waterfall being rather small, the refreshingly beautiful surroundings create a hall of treasure for nature lovers and especially for those who enjoy trekking.
A three-hour trek from the base of the Dhoni hills will take you to the pristine beauty of nature and the lush green surroundings will rejuvenate your senses. The trekking starts at the foot of the hills near the Teak plantations. A narrow mountain way is there for four-wheel drives and bikes that lead up to the waterfall; however private vehicles are prohibited from traversing these roads.
This 4 km long trekking trail through the lush green environs bestows one with a quiet isolated space to witness nature in its most tranquil form. This guided trek is best to start trekking early in the morning, so more time can be spent in the company of the gorgeous waterfall.
Although the waterfall itself is rather small, refreshingly beautiful surroundings make up for it. Water from here ultimately feeds Malampuzha Dam. Enjoying the scenic environment of Dhoni hills and a great trek are the upshots of visiting this Kerala waterfall. The best time to visit here is immediately after monsoon.Rains are over by then, trek path is clear and the waterfall appears filled with water.
