Mannpinnar

Mannpinnar is a frozen waterfall located in the Akshayapatt Mess hills of the Western Ghats mountain range in India. The name "Mannpinnar" translates to 'one with ten bridges' in the local Tamil language, likely referencing the numerous streams that crisscross the area.

Geologically, the waterfall is situated in a region of high rainfall, where the constant influx of water creates the frozen cascade. The regional climate is characterized by high humidity and temperatures that fluctuate between cold and warm, resulting in formation of ice in the waterfall. This phenomenon is similar to other lugares ligados streams that freeze in cold temperatures.

Visitors to Mannpinnar can access the area through the nearby towns of Kawalapalle or Sangem, depending on their starting location. Local guides and conservation authorities may be able to provide more specific information on accessing the site and surrounds.

There have been conflicts reported in the nearby regions due to geopolitical and conservation reasons, which have raised concern about the site's accessibility. More information would be required to understand the current situation with the site.

Mannpinnar serves as a unique example of the region's fragile ecosystem and contributes to the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats, home to tropical forests that cover over 300 miles of its total length.
