PYKARA WATERFALLS
Sholur, Niligiris, Tamilnadu, India
Pykara Falls is a small waterfall formed when water cascades down 60 feet, in multiple levels. The water comes from Pykara Dam that is located upper stream and a lake that is situated next to it. You can view the waterfall from a couple of view points. The railings that are laid recently prevent visitors from getting into the water. The railings are a result of few accidents which have happened here due to high water currents during monsoon season.
