RAT TAIL FALLS KODAIKANAL -தலையாறு அருவி கொடைக்கானல்
Thalaiyar Falls, also known as Rat Tail Falls is located in the Palani Hills of Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu State, South India.
தலையார் நீர்வீழ்ச்சி: இதனை எலி வால் நீர்வீழ்ச்சி என்றும் அழைக்கின்றனர். இந்தியாவின் மிக உயர்ந்த நீர்வீழ்ச்சிகளில் இதுவும் ஒன்று (தமிழ்நாட்டின் உயரமான அருவி 975அடி). ஒட்டுமொத்தமாக இந்திய அளவில் இந்த அருவி 9வது உயரமான அருவியாகும். மேலிருந்து கீழாக ஒரே அருவியாக (Single Drop) விழும் அருவிகளில் 3வது உயரமான அருவியாகும்.முதல் இரண்டு இடங்களையும் மேகாலயா மாநிலத்தில் உள்ள இருஅருவிகள் (Nohkalikai Falls - 1099ft ; Nohsngithiang Falls - 1033ft) பெறுகின்றன.
இந்த அருவி எலி வால் நீர்வீழ்ச்சி என்று பரவலாக அழைக்கப்பட்டாலும், உண்மையில் இந்த அருவி horsetail type waterfalls (குதிரை வால் நீர்வீழ்ச்சி) என்ற வகைப்பாட்டின் கீழ் வருகின்றது.
இந்த அருவியின் தலைப்பகுதியில் உயரம் குறைந்த நடுவில் வழிவிடப்பட்ட சுவர் ஓன்று கட்டப்பட்டுள்ளது. தலையாரில் நீர்வரத்து குறைவாக வரும்போதும், அருவிக்கு அழகான தோற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்த இந்த சுவர் கட்டப்பட்டிருக்கலாம். எனவே அருவியின் அழகிய தோற்றத்திற்கு இந்த சுவரும் ஒரு காரணம்.
கொடைக்கானல் செல்லும் சுற்றுலா பயணிகள் காட்ரோட்டிலிருந்து கொடைக்கானல் செல்லும் வழியில் டம்டம் பாறை என்ற இடத்தில் இருந்து இந்த அருவியை ரசிக்கலாம்.

Kodaikanal Rat tail falls | A closer view from top firstdronevideo
Thalaiyar Falls, also known as Rat Tail Falls is located in the Devadanapatti of Theni District, Tamil Nadu State, South India. It is 975 ft (297 m) tall and is the highest waterfall in Tamil Nadu, the sixth highest waterfall in India and the 267th highest in the world.
#kodaikanal #rattailfalls#tamilnadutourism#
On a clear day Rat Tail Falls is visible from the Dum Dum Rock viewpoint on the Batalugundu-Kodaikanal Ghat Road, 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) away to the west. It appears across the valley as a long thin white strip of cascading water on a background of black rock cliff face that juts out of the foothills.
The very edge at the top of the Falls has a low concrete wall on either side concentrating the flow of water to focus the falls into a better rat tail shape. One can walk along the wall and get near the center of the falls. Just below one wall is a large flat rock about 5 ft (1.5 m) wide. One can get down to the edge of the rock to look directly straight down to see a little river at the bottom continuing placidly through the forest. Looking back up to the side, one can watch the water in freefall, mostly silent. The noise of the crashing water below doesn't rise up. The only noise is the water pushing around the stone walls, and some smaller falls just upstream.[2]
The river water coming to the falls, though 9 km (5.6 mi) downstream from Perumal Malai village and apparently clear, may be polluted, and visitors to the area are advised to avoid drinking it.

High level of mercury in fish at Kodai lake
High level of mercury in fish at Kodai lake
Activist (first left) Nityanand Jayaraman at a press meet in Madurai on Monday.
Activists blame it on Hindustan Unilever; company denies charge
Relying on findings from an expert team from IIT-Hyderabad, environmental activists and CPI (ML) functionaries have alleged that the Hindustan Unilever’s (HUL) presence from the mid-80s to the beginning of the millennium had polluted the water in the Kodaikanal lake and the surrounding Periyakulam ponds.
Claiming that the mercury levels in fish in the region is high, activists under the banner – ‘Campaign to Cleanup Kodaikanal Mercury Pollution’ – including members of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) and CPI (ML) urged the government here on Monday to share such vital information with the people and prevent the spread of diseases. The fish were caught in December 2016 and tested.
They displayed a few photographs to show how people belonging to different age groups in the hilly region had been at the receiving end due to pollution and contamination of the environment beyond permissible levels.
Accusing the government and the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) of being dormant in the past, activist Nityanand Jayaraman said that the study had found high levels of mercury in fish from Kodai lake and ponds fed by the Pambar stream in Periyakulam plains.
He said that, through a letter written to Theni and Dindigul District Collectors and Kodaikanal Municipal Commissioner on August 2, 2017, IIT-Hyderabad scientist Asif Qureshihe had urged the administration to advise people, particularly, pregnant women, to limit their consumption of fish from these water bodies.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin. It can damage the brain and also lead to kidney failure. Methyl mercury, the form that is found in fish, is even more poisonous.
The US environmental Protection Agency has prescribed a safe level of 30 microgram/kg of mercury in fish. However, four out of eight fish caught from Kodai lake contained between 31.1 and 41.9 microgram/kg. Fish caught from a pond fed by the Pambar stream, less than 5 km from Kumbakarai falls, contained far higher levels – between 94 and 165 micrograms/kg. The Unilver’s proposed clean-up standard for soil in Kodaikanal was 20 times weaker than the soil guideline value for mercury in UK, Unilever’s headquarters, Mr. Nityanand said, quoting the study. He urged the State government and the TNPCB to tighten clean up standards for Unilever’s contaminated site remediation.
HUL responds
Meanwhile, responding to the allegations, a spokersperson for HUL said that over the last 15 years, independent studies carried out by IIT-Delhi, the National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow, and the Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation Research Centre, Ooty, have confirmed that there has been no adverse impact on the environment outside the factory premises. The only exception is a small area on the perimeter of the factory, which HUL has already committed to remediate through soil remediation trials which commenced in August 2017 as per approval given by the TNPCB.
With regard to the proposed clean-up standard for soil in Kodaikanal, he said that the TNPCB, in consultation with the Scientific Experts Committee (constituted by the Supreme Court Monitoring Committee), set the remediation standard of 20 mg/kg based on a site-specific risk assessment study in line with international best practices. The standard has been confirmed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), to which the TNPCB had referred the matter. The Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change has also endorsed the 20 mg/kg soil remediation standard.
