🗓️ Opening days: The Teak Museum keeps a weekly closing day and Conolly's Plot follows forest timings — we confirm both before your date. Waterfalls and the forest stop can close at short notice after heavy rain.
🌉 Hanging bridge: The footbridge sways and takes a limited number of people at a time — the staff count you across. Hold the rails; not ideal for anyone with a fear of heights.
💧 At the falls: Rocks are slippery all year and the pools are deep — viewing only, no bathing. Leeches in the monsoon months on the forest paths.
🚌 Long day: About 2 hours each way on the road, with Tirur and Malappuram pickups. Drop-off in reverse order: Malappuram first, then Tirur.
