Catherine Falls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catherine Falls is a double-cascaded fall located 7km from Kotagiri, located on the Mettupalyam road branching off at Aravenu. The upper fall drops 250 feet to the floor, and is the second highest in Nilgiris (mountains). The waters from the upper stream of the kallar river are crossed by the invisible Mettupalyam-Ooty road beyond the mountains in the south-west.
Catherine Falls is named after the wife of M.D. Cockburn, believed to have introduced the coffee plantation to Kotagiri. The native name of the Catherian Falls is GEddhehaada Halla, meaning "Foothills Dale River".
