If you are in Trivandrum(the capital city of Kerala, India) and looking for a weekend trip then Brimore is a beautiful place to consider. Brimore is a small hill station and is said to be the base station of the famous peak, Agasthyarkoodam in the Agasthya hills. It is hardly 45km from Trivandrum central.
The main attraction of Brimore is Mankayam Waterfalls. It is less than 1 km walk from the parking space. People near by say that the Mankayam falls will have enough water all throughout the year. The place is picturesque and untouched with very less tourists. The crystal clear water from the falls make it a perfect place to swim, but it is always safe to take extra caution as the danger beneath is unknown.
There is a 4-5km trail between Brimore and Ponmudi for trekking enthusiasts. The road going uphill from waterfalls is closed. The security guard explained that the area upward is restricted and Makayam Waterfalls is the only attraction in Brimore. Remember not to discard any plastics here as Brimore is a plastic-free zone. Google Maps will be your best friend to navigate to this "Best Kept Secret" in God's own country.
