One is that decades ago, wild elephants used to walk up to the canals which existed near the waterfall. One particular day, one of the elephant lost its footing and fell into the waterfall which resulted in the name Aanachadikuthu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5306 size-full\" title=\"Travelers playing in Anayadikuthu Waterfall\" src=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-3.png\" alt=\"Travelers playing in Anayadikuthu Waterfall\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-3.png 640w, https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-3-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another one is that two elephants fought at this place and one fell into the waterfall, which eventually gave the name Aanachadikuthu. This name later converted into Anayadikuthu.<\/p>\n<p>Anayadikuthu passes through Kambakkanam and Neykuthanal. At the first sight of the waterfall you might feel that it is deep and unsafe but once you go into the water, it is very shallow and safe.<\/p>\n<p>The small forest near the waterfall is a haven for different species of birds and for monkeys. The rock formation around the waterfall provides a resting space for all tourists.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5304 size-full\" title=\"Tourist Enjoying the Waterfall\" src=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-1.png\" alt=\"Tourist Enjoying the Waterfall\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-1.png 640w, https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-1-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a good location for a trek since to reach this beautiful waterfall, you will have to walk up quite a distance from the main road.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Reach Anayadikuthu<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are two routes to Anayadikuthu, one via Thodupuzha, about 20.1 kms and via Ernakulam, about 69.9 kms.<\/p>\n<p>Nearest town to Anayadikuthu: Thodupuzha, about 20 kms.<\/p>\n<p>By Rail: Ernakulam South, about 71km away and Kottayam, about 76km<br \/>By Air: Cochin International Airport, about 65 km<\/p>\n<p>By Bus: Thodupuzha, about 20km<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5307 size-full\" title=\"Forceless Anayadikuthu Waterfall\" src=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-4.png\" alt=\"Forceless Anayadikuthu Waterfall\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-4.png 640w, https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Anayadikuth-4-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Best Time to Visit Anayadikuthu<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is no specific time to visit Anayadikuthu as it is not deep and a safe place.
