You can approach the Attukal waterfalls through a narrow wooden bridge. The walk up to the waterfalls is a treat in itself. Towering hills wrapped in green and blooming with seasonal flowers fill the horizon. If the water level is low. you can walk up to the rocks and splash around in the water. You can also opt for a 3 km walk from the main road or take your vehicle right up to the waterfall.

Besides its natural splendor, the site is also ideal for trekking and hiking. When the backdrop is a mesmerizing waterfall and fog-wrapped hills, you are compelled to take pictures. Do not forget to carry your camera! You can visit the place to behold the splendid view of the waterfall and the dense jungle throughout the year, but it is best to visit the place immediately after the monsoon season since the waterfall cascades at its full glory during this time. The nearest railway station is at Aluva which is at a distance of 108 kms.
