Waterfalls of Tamil Nadu
Two facts per waterfall settle every question: which river feeds it, and which district holds it.
| Waterfall | River | District |
|---|---|---|
| Courtallam (Kutralam) Falls | Chittar | Tenkasi; 'Spa of South India' |
| Hogenakkal Falls | Cauvery | Dharmapuri |
| Catherine Falls | Kallar stream | The Nilgiris (Kotagiri) |
| Monkey Falls | Aliyar | Coimbatore (Pollachi) |
| Thirparappu Falls | Kodayar | Kanniyakumari |
| Agaya Gangai | Aiyaru | Namakkal (Kolli Hills) |
| Suruli Falls | Suruli | Theni |
| Kiliyur Falls | Yercaud lake overflow | Salem |
| Papanasam Falls (Agasthiyar) | Thamirabarani | Tirunelveli |
| Kumbakkarai Falls | Pambar | Theni (Palani hills foothills) |
Hogenakkal-Cauvery and Papanasam-Thamirabarani are the two most repeated pairings; Theni district alone holds both Suruli and Kumbakkarai falls.
