my favourite is Vazhachal of Thrissur district...the place where movie 'Ravan' was shot.
but now serious discussions are going on to build a dam across it. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
if so, we we will lose plenty of lovely scenary..many forests will die beneath water.
that's the reason why nature lovers are not allowing it for the past 10 years

Those falls are really really beautiful! People should protest building a dam across those, our government is only out to kill whatever natural beauty is left in our country! :angry: :angry: You should start a protest campaign against it!

can anyone forget the wonderful photography of Maniratnam's Ravan?
those beautiful streams and forests..hoping you have seen the movie.
if a dam is built, whole forest and waterfall will be lost :evil: :evil: :evil:

The worlds tallest waterfall is Angel falls which is in South America. It is in Venenzuela amidst the jungles and was discovered by a pilot called Jimmi Angel in 1933...

Usha have you visited this place this is really good to see. I can image if you are there at that time.

Yes we visited it a few years ago and we have to walk through the National park for about 3 or 4 kms to see the waterfall from the bottom...and I cant even describe how awesome it is...scary too when you see the water falling from such a great height !

Those look really awesome and scary too! I have read a few accounts of incidents where people who visited sites of such monumental natural beauty were so overwhelmed by the beauty of it all, that they simply couldn't process it and felt they did not deserve to live and they jumped into the falls! I have read it happens a lot at the Niagara where people keep trying to jump into them often.

Yes Kalyani, nature can be very beautiful but at the same time overwhelming and scary because of its magnitude. Recently there was a incident when a youngster who was watching the Jog Falls in all its glory during Monsoon rains slipped near the edge and apparently when someone threw the end of a woollen shawl, he was so overcome that he didn't have the presence of mind to even grab it , anyway finally others had to bring a ladder and literally carry him...

Such scenes do a lot to change our perspective in a very different sense. Also of all the people who visit such places, many are sio busy trying to show others that they are not scared and are not careful enough to avoid getting in accidents. Such incidents not only ruin the atmosphere but also the joviality of other holidayers!
