All you just need is to pack your bag and charge your camera to take some breathtaking selfies and enjoy this monsoon at fullest.
Vydehi Falls
Deep down in a forest at Narsipuram town stand Vydehi Falls, located at a distance of about 35 Km from the city of Coimbatore. One needs to take the permission before entering the premises and can only be visited with a forest guide as the place is not safe from animals, especially elephants. Many have heard the stories of elephants attacking human in this area.Though this does not deter tourists who want to enjoy the serene beauty of the Falls, that they feel it is worth taking the risk. A selfie in front of this breathtaking view is worth the risk!
Kovai Kutralam
Another falls located within a dense jungle but with an exciting trek of about 4 Km, Kovai Kutralam, is also known as Siruvani Waterfalls.This is located at a mere distance of about 36 Km from Coimbatore amidst the charismatic Siruvani Hills. Most of the tourists like to take a bath at the bottom of the falls as the upper part is made from steep cliffs and is dangerous. The only disadvantage associated with this fall is that you have to leave the place by 5:00 PM due to the security issues.
Catherine Falls
Being the second highest waterfall of the Nilgiris, Catherine Falls enjoys thousands of tourists during the monsoon season. The falls is located at a distance of about 67 Km from Coimbatore and is very close to Coonoor. Looking at a height of 250 Feet, it is easy to imagine that getting a full view of this falls is not an easy task.Dolphin's Nose is the only viewpoint from where one can see the entire waterfalls easily. It is impossible to go to the bottom of this waterfall; hence people visit the same from the top, which is easily accessible from Aravenu town located on the Kotagiri/Mettupalayam Road. This is another heaven for the trekkers to visit.
