Chethalayam waterfalls are one among the seasonal waterfalls in Kerala, located near Sulthan Bathery in Wayanad. This enthralling beauty is strictly seasonal as they flow in the springs and dries out during the summer seasons. Although it is a comparatively lesser-known waterfall cascading from a reduced height, it draws tourists for the lush greenery, dense woods and rich flora and fauna species in the surrounding regions. Even though the waterfalls and the natural pool dries out in summers, there is plenty of trekking, hiking and mountain climbing opportunities for the adventurous travellers.
Upon the arrival of spring, the brooks and streams get lively with the rain showers and flow further to form Chethalayam Waterfalls giving away an amazing sight for the nature lovers. One can see several bird species flying in the air and resting on the branches among the swaying leaves and fruits. The greenery here, greenery there and greenery everywhere around is what makes Chethalayam waterfalls the best of the places in Wayanad district.
