After visiting Kodaikanal, the popular travel destination in South India, I stopped calling any other city as 'City of Waterfalls'. Kodaikanal is dotted with so many small and big waterfalls which no other city and town could offer. Let us explore about two small little known waterfalls in Kodaikanal, Fairy Falls and Lyril Falls.

Fairy Falls as well as Lyril Falls are located in Pambarpuram area in Kodaikanal. Fairy waterfalls is very beautiful and it is located along with a small dam in a very secluded area full of trees. The falls is very tall. During monsoon, this place looks heavenly beautiful as the waterfalls is in full force.

Lyril Falls is a very small waterfalls located at a distance of around 1 km from Fairy Falls. As the advertisement of Lyril soap was shot in this waterfalls in the early 1980s, the waterfalls is called as Lyril Falls.

Happy travelling.

Navapashanam is an amalgam of nine poisonous herbs. It is said to act as a remedy for all types of diseases. It is believed that the Siddhas knew the secret formula to prepare this medicinal potion.  The sculpture of Murugan from the famous Palani is claimed to be made of Navapashanam. Similarly, there is a lesser-known temple near Chennai, which has a Navapashanam Murugan.
