The Kummanam Waterfalls Mattannur




A beautiful place in perfect unison with nature  that’s Kummanam for you. A 20km ride from Kannur town will take you to this breath-taking region which is a part of Mattannur. Adorned with scenic beauty, the waterfall here is located in a calm and serene forest with mesmerizing landscape. A visit to this place will leave you wishing you had come here earlier.
Kummanam is a beautiful village with lush green landscape everywhere. Unlike the other popular destinations, you may not find many shops or restaurants here. But the ‘Thattukada’s’ here provide lip-smacking dishes for food lovers. There is a narrow path here which leads to the waterfall. This is the only way to reach the spot and there are no signboards to help you out either. The small waterfall here is known as ‘Kavummoola’. A rare spot to cool your body and soul, the water falls down from top into the small pool of water lying between rocks. The water looks crystal clear in the small pools and one can see many fish swimming around in these pools. The path though slippery is not dangerous. As you enjoy breath-taking scenery around, do not miss the chance to enter the pool of water to experience the sensation of cool water touching your feet. If you are lucky enough, you may also get an opportunity to get drenched in the rains here.
