About Tenkasi

Tenkasi is best known for Courtallam (Kutralam), celebrated as the "Spa of South India" for its medicinal waterfalls enriched with herbs from the Western Ghats forests. The Kasi Viswanathar Temple, built by the Pandya kings in the 15th century, gives the town its name, meaning "Kasi of the South." Separated from Tirunelveli as a new district in 2019, Tenkasi's lush green landscape and waterfall season (June to November) attract visitors from across the country.
