On the day of Pongal, a large crowd of tourists gathered at Kumbakkarai Falls. As a result, an entry fee of Rs. One lakh was collected in a single day. Kumbakkarai Falls is a popular tourist destination located 8 kilometers from Periakulam. The rainfall in the Kodai hills and surrounding areas like Pambarapuram and Vattakannal increased the water flow to the falls, resulting in a strong water pressure and beautiful swirling sights that captivated the visitors.
On the day of Pongal, thousands of tourists from various parts of Tamil Nadu arrived at the falls area. At 7:45 AM, they prepared to enter the falls, and the entry gate was opened at 8:00 AM, allowing everyone to enter. An entry fee of Rs. 30 for adults and Rs. 20 for children was charged.
As they walked 500 meters, the tourists admired the lush green trees and the beauty of nature on both sides. At the top of the falls, the water flow areas and the base of the falls attracted many tourists, who joyfully swam and spent time in the cool water.
It is common for Kumbakkarai Falls to see a larger crowd on Pongal compared to other days. This year, most of the tourists gathered for this occasion, and the entry fee revenue exceeded Rs. One lakh.
The bustling scenes at the falls, its natural beauty, and the constant flow of water in the area make it a place that continues to attract tourists.
