The falls carry a good amount of water only when there is a rain on the
hills, so it is advisable to see the weather forecast, when one plans to
come to Courtallam . Season begins from June of every year till
September. The South West Monsoon brings in the cold breeze with mild
temperature. From October to December North East Monsoon sets over in
Tamil Nadu and the climate is cold and the rains are very heavy
sometimes. Sometimes the falls get flooded and people are not allowed to
take bath during floods.Courtallam or Kutralam, Spa of South India, is a panchayat town situated at a mean elevation of 160 m on the Western Ghats in Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu, India. Many seasonal and few perennial rivers such as the Chittar River, the Manimuthar River, the Pachaiyar River and the Tambaraparani River
originate in this region. The numerous waterfalls and cascades along
with the ubiquitous health resorts in the area have earned it the title
the Spa of South India. Courtallam is not just waterfalls; its temples too attract visitors. The
most important among these is the Chitra Sabha, one of the five sabhas
with Nataraja, Shiva in the dancing posture as the main deity. The
paintings at the Chitra Sabha were renovated about 100 years ago. The
others are the Rathna Sabha at Thiruvalangadu, the Kanaka Sabha at
Chidambaram, and the Velli Sabha at Madurai and the Thamira Sabha at
Tirunelveli. The temple at the foot of the hill is conch-shaped which
has special significance in Hindu tradition
