Guest reviews
Wonderful experience
Explored Kutladampatti falls/ Thadagai trail on 4/11/24. It as a wonderful experience hiking through the reserved forest. Mr. Vellaipandi and Mr. Poovendran were my guides who very helpful and resourceful. We hiked after the rains- hence I was lucky to see a lot of insects, reptiles, birds, lots of butterflies. Was able to see wide variety of plants/ beautiful flowers in the trek. It was well organized by the team and forest department who were all very helpful. The air and water in the forest area is pristine.I was able to take a dip in the upper part of the falls which was an amazing experience. Would recommend wearing full sleeves with shoes and repellents to stay away from mosquitoes. Would strongly recommend to all nature lovers.
An unforgettable experience etched in memory for a lifetime.
The trek to Kutladampatti was an incredible experience. The area was well-maintained, clean, and tidy, and the guides were friendly and attentive. Hot, ready-to-eat Poha was served, and it tasted amazing—definitely worth every penny. The water was crystal clear, and the sound of the flowing stream was absolutely breathtaking. We’re proud to say we were the first trekkers to explore this place, and everything was thoughtfully organized.
