After a gap of 34 months, all falls in Courtallam will be open to visitors again from December 20. People were barred from taking bath in all the waterfalls since March 2019 in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

It is 10 each in Five Falls. In Old Courtallam Falls, five men and 10 women will be allowed to take bath at a time. The duration of bathing will be decided by the officials stationed there based on water flow and the crowd.
