Day by day

1. Day 1

   Drive from Trivandrum to Thenmala for its ecotourism zones, including the suspension bridge, forest walks and deer rehabilitation centre, with a stop at Thenmala Dam.

2. Day 2

   Continue to Palaruvi Falls in the morning, reached from the forest department’s entry point, before returning to Trivandrum.

Palaruvi is a seasonal waterfall managed by the forest department: it flows strongest in the rains, and access can close in very heavy weather. Some Thenmala activities cost extra.
