Rivers, Waterfalls & Scenic Beauty

Waterfalls in Pondicherry:

Pondicherry, as a low-lying coastal region, does not have natural waterfalls within its Union Territory limits. Waterfalls are typically found in hilly or mountainous terrain, which Pondicherry lacks.

• "Waterfalls near Pondicherry" in tourist listings: Any waterfalls listed as "near Pondicherry" are actually located significant distances away, typically in the Western Ghats (like Athirappilly Falls in Kerala) or hill stations in Tamil Nadu (like Kiliyur Falls in Yercaud or Agaya Gangai Waterfalls in Kolli Hills) or Andhra Pradesh (Talakona Waterfall, Akasa Ganga in Tirupati). These are often 200-300+ kilometers away and require a separate journey.
