About Jalagamparai Falls
Jalagamparai Falls is a seasonal cascade waterfall near Sadayanoor village at the base of the Yelagiri Hills in Tirupattur District, Tamil Nadu. Formed by the Attaru River flowing over the Yelagiri plateau, it drops approximately 30 metres through forested slopes. Notable for its scenic valley setting and short trek from Yelagiri, it attracts visitors mainly during and after the monsoon when water flow is strongest, offering natural pools and viewpoints.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a forested seasonal waterfall set in a valley below the Yelagiri Hills. Access involves a downhill trek of about 1 to 1.5 km via steep steps and uneven trail from the Yelagiri side to the base. At the site, there is a cascade flowing over rocky ledges into shallow natural pools surrounded by dense greenery and hills. Facilities are basic and seasonal, with limited stalls and parking near the trailhead. Bathing is possible only when water levels are low and permitted.
