Courtallam wins you over with the simplistic little joys that it offers to its visitors. Easily accessible and is inexpensive.

What's not so Great?

The increasing popularity of Courtallam has led to more influx of tourists than ever in recent times. With the increase in commercialization to keep the tourists entertained, the place is losing its charm and uniqueness.
