The waterfall
A private waterfall stay in Kerala
Most Kerala waterfalls are public stops on a day trip. At Urava the three-tier waterfall sits inside the estate, and only guests staying here can use it.
Three tiers, crystal-clear pools
Each tier drops into its own pool. You can sit by the falls, cross the timber bridge, or watch the mist from the seating area.
Lit for the night
The waterfall has strategic lighting, so a barbecue by the falls works after dark, with the sound of water as the background.
Private, not shared
The falls are open only to guests staying at Urava. Book all three cottages and the villa, and nobody else is on the estate.

Good to know.
Is the waterfall inside the property?
Yes. It is part of the private cardamom plantation and is reserved for the group that books the estate.
Do we get the property to ourselves?
If you book all three cottages and the villa, yes: the whole 8-acre estate is yours. Otherwise you share it only with guests of the other units. The waterfall is open only to Urava guests, never to day visitors.
How many people can stay?
Up to 24 adults across the estate. Each of the three cottages takes up to 4 adults and 3 children, and the villa takes up to 12 adults and 6 children.
How do we get there from Bengaluru or Chennai?
By car it is about 9 to 10 hours from either city. You can also take an overnight bus to Kumily (40 minutes away) or Kattappana (3 km away). The property is 250 metres off the State Highway. See the How to reach page for trains and flights.
Keep planning
