💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near Courtallam Falls (₹500-1000/night) instead of hotels in Tenkasi town to save 40% and be closer to main attractions while supporting local families
📅 October to February is ideal when temperatures range from 15-28°C and the waterfalls are in full flow after monsoon rains. Avoid May-June when heat is intense and September when heavy rainfall makes trekking difficult.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa as Tenkasi is located within India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
