About Courtallam Tourism
Courtallam is a small township located in the district of Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. Situated at an altitude of 167 metres on the Western Ghats, Courtallam is the anglicised version of Kuttralam. Known as 'Spa of the South', the township is famous for its cascading waterfalls and ancient temples. The location features as many as seven waterfalls, which originate from the Chittar River. The town is also referred to as Mukthiveli, Nannagaram, Pithur Kanda, Theerthapuram, Thirunagaram and Vasanthaperur. Like many other Indian towns and cities, the township of Courtallam is also linked with mythological stories. According to legend, Lord Shiva commissioned saint Agastya to avoid imbalance due to the growing huddle in the Great Kailash on his celestial wedding. The inscriptions in the temples of Courtallam depict the feature of Chola and Pandya kings. According to local beliefs, the Sabha is one of the five Sabhas where Lord Nataraja had performed his trademark cosmic dance. Since the town is known for its waterfalls, tourists can head to the nearest fall to enjoy themselves. There is not much to shop in Courtallam other than local produce and souvenirs sold at local roadside shops. Tenkasi is a small town located nearby and it has a number of small restaurants that serve traditional South Indian fare. Tourists can also arrive at Tenkasi Railway Station to enter the town, 6 km away from the destination. The nearest airport to Courtallam is the Tuticorin Airport (TCR), which is located at a distance of 86 km. Travellers can also drive down to the town from Tirunelveli. The best time to visit Courtallam is between June and September. Courtallam enjoys pleasant climate throughout the year. Read More >>

Courtallam Experience: Situated close to the courtallam falls, this is a good destination during monsoons. A bath in the falls is really invigorating and freshens you up. There are plenty of restaurants during the busy season and so food is not a problem.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Though there are many restaurants in Courtallam, only South Indian type food is available which is a bit of a let down for those from the North. Wish one could have restaurants that serve north-indian food as well

Activities & things to do: Not much to do, except go to the falls.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Easier to reach via Madurai by flight or from Trivandrum. Takes about 4 hours from Madurai airport.

"Spa of South"

Posted by Prem

Courtallam Experience: Courtallam also known as spa of south is in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu. Its a cultural and refreshing spot. Waterfalls and temples makes it more unique with a very refreshing weather.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food: Best place for non-veg and a good place for vegetarians i would say. Have a refreshing long bath and reach a place called piranoor/border which is 2-3 kms from here. You get authentic porota and chicken. These hotels they make the masala from their home it seems. the taste is unique and havent had such a tasty and spicy porota and kuruma(they call salna) in my life time. Sight-Seeing: Water Falls: There are 4-5 falls we saw actually. They are five falls, old courtrallam falls, chtraruvi, chembagadevi(trekking experience) falls and couple more. The water here meant to have herbal powers which can cure skin diseases and gives you a refreshing mind. I am sure it was refreshing. The water tastes real good. dont hesitate to drink it. The courtralla-nathar temple is a famous Shiva temple right opposite to the main falls. There are temples near by courtrallam like tenkasi kasi viswanathar temple, elanji kumarar temple etc. Nice peaceful clean-air place. Shopping : Not a great shopping place but you can buy a lots of fruits which we cant find in bangalore. Statues were there too, but be little careful.

Activities & things to do: Definitely have to taste that halwa: 3 kms from courtrallam, this place called Tenkasi has a kasi viswanathar temple. right opposite to that there is a 100 year old halwa shop. go there and they serve hot halwa in a piece of banana leaf. Amazing and melting. you wont stop eating one. :P Rava Dosa: Near by the halwa shop, we found a hotel named Anandha Bhavan, have rava dosa there. Brilliant taste. Kanupulimettu Dam: this dam would be around 10 kms from courtrallam i believe. Small dam but the place is amazing. You have boating there too. For muslim Friends: There is a place called Vallam, around 3 kms from Courtrallam, it has a very old mosque deep down inside the forest, called Kattu palli vassal. One of the amazing mosques i have seen, very simple but super peaceful place to be in. Must visit for muslim friends.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: There are trains and buses to Tenkasi and Shecottah. You can choose Tenkasi and that would be a better place to land. From there book a car or SUV according to your needs. Its not very cold, the chillness is moderate and damn it always drizzling there in peak climate time. Before you plan, ask someone to find out the climate and go there. Its wonderful if you get a chance to go there during off-season no crowd and very clean. Lots of monkeys which usually dont hurt unless you make them to ;)
