A Desire To See Paanatheertham Falls

by Kanniappan
(Karaikal, Puduchery, India)

Myself with my wife at Seattle

Myself with my wife at Seattle

Hi,

I am from Tamil Nadu, India. I had visited Courtallum Falls in Tirunelveli District, Suruli Falls about 100 Km from Madurai, Tirumurthi Falls at Udumalaipet in Coimbatore District, and Silver Cascade Falls at Kodaikanal.

Recently I was reading a serial story in local popular Tamil weekly Megazine 'Ananda Vikatan' about a waterfalls known as Paanatheertham Falls in Mundanthurai, Papanasam Hills, Tirunelveli District, South India and intricacies of its flow, speed, beauty and dangers. It was very astonishing.

So I wanted to know more about 'waterfalls' and searched in the web using Yahoo! and Wikipedia.

I am surprised to see varieties and classification of falls.

I visited Snoqualmie Falls at Seattle during 2002.

I am interested to see more and more watrfalls, especially Jog falls in India, Niagara Falls in USA and CANADA and of course Paanatheertham Falls.
