KODAIKANAL

Silver Cascade

This is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Kodaikanal at a wide bend in the Laws Ghat Road (Madurai-Kodaikanal Road), at altitude 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). This is a 55-metre (180 ft) waterfall formed from the outflow of Kodaikanal Lake. The frothy water from the lake comes down through piles of rocks. This impressive waterfall is a popular stop for first-time visitors and tourists. There are a few souvenir and fruit vendors and many monkeys here. There is also a smaller but more serene waterfall below the bridge which crosses the stream here.
