Activities
Trekking: A trail starts in the village of Arai, which you can get to by crossing the Nagala Dam. Trekkers can enjoy a peaceful view from the dam, showing them the way to the waterfalls. The hike starts on easy, level ground until it meets a stream.
Camping: Most of the time, you shouldn't camp in Nagalapuram, but some expert trekkers do it if they clear out the camping areas first. They do this at their own risk. Recently, there have been reports of eve-teasing in the area, so women are told to go with men just in case.
People who want to hike on the trail should register at the town's Police office before going into the village and be careful while walking.
