Anayadikuthu Waterfalls is located on the border of Karimannur and Vannapuram Panchayats, one kilometer from Thommankuth falls.[2] The ancients say that many years ago, herds of elephants from the inner forests used to reach the flat rock above this waterfall to drink water in summer. Legend has it that the name AnayadiKuthu came from a clash between two elephants and one of them fell into the waterfall and died. The waterfall is located at the bottom of the stream that flows through Kambakakanam and Neikuthanal.[3] There is a concrete bridge for people to walk across the top of the falls. There are monkeys and many types of birds near the waterfall.
