💦 Perunthenaruvi Falls – A Cascading Wonder in the Western Ghats
🌿 Where Rivers Dance Over Rocks
Perunthenaruvi Falls, a picturesque cascade hidden within Kerala’s lush wilderness, is famed for its wide, rushing flow as the Pamba River tumbles down rocky terrain. Unlike towering falls, Perunthenaruvi is all about graceful horizontal flow, creating a mesmerizing blend of rapids, rock pools, and gentle cascades.
