On the way to Ponmudi two dams, and water falls also occur but one must visit them only before sunset. Because later there won't be any admissions inside. Bathing in the waterfalls is also not permitted due to safety concerns. One more highest peak in the Western Ghats of India, Agastyakoodam, is also nearby. But it is open to visitors only for a few days in a year.
