Marottichal is home to two
gorgeous waterfalls namely Olakkayam and Ilanjipara which are unexplored and
virgin making it one of the finest spots for spending some tranquil moments
amidst nature, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

place where one can swim and bathe amidst a green environ for a refreshing and
relaxing feeling after an adventurous trek. After a brief leisurely 4KM trip
