Agaya Gangai waterfall dropping 300 feet through forest Waterfall

Agaya Gangai Waterfalls

The most famous fall in Kolli Hills, dropping 300 feet behind the Arapaleeswarar temple. Reaching the base means descending more than 1,000 steep steps, so it is a proper trek rather than a stroll.

  • Near Arapaleeswarar temple
  • Hard trek, 8 AM - 4 PM
Masila Falls, a family friendly waterfall Waterfall

Masila Falls

A medium-sized fall that is far easier to reach than Agaya Gangai, which makes it the favourite with families. Bathing is safe here and parking is close by.
