Silver Cascade Falls is a stunning 180-foot waterfall located 8 kilometers from Kodaikanal on the Madurai-Kodaikanal Ghat Road. Formed by the overflow of the famous Kodai Lake, water plunges over steep, rocky cliffs to create a brilliant, shimmering white cascade that greets travelers as they enter the hill station.
