At a distance of 61 km from Kottayam, Valanjaganam Waterfall, locally known as Ninnumullipara, is a scenic waterfall located at Kuttikkanam in Kerala. It is one of the stunning waterfalls in Kerala, and among the most popular Kottayam tourist places.

Valanjaganam Waterfall lies on the Kottayam-Kumily state highway, about 4 km from Kuttikkanam towards Thekkady/Periyar. Also known as Kesari Waterfalls, this waterfall is probably one of the most easily accessible ones in Kerala, which is why many tourists often flock to it each year. It is an ideal spot to stop and take a quick stretch and relax during tiring journeys during your Kottayam trip.

A flight of steps takes you down to where the waterfall ends. There are a few shops near the waterfall, people were stopping by for a hot cup of tea and snacks. Be a little careful while driving here because people seem to zooming on along the curve and suddenly breaking when they see the waterfall.

Regular buses are available between Kottayam and Thekkady/Periyar. September to January is the best time to visit the falls. The falls are located just adjacent to the highway and no trekking is required to reach the falls.
