There is a grisly legend linked with this place. A woman named Likai remarried a man. They had no source of income so she used to work for the living. The husband killed her daughter in the absence of the wife. The wife comes and starts looking for her daughter. The fraudulent husband suggested her eating something first. After eating she had a glance over one corner and saw an austere finger. In a state of anger, she jumps off the cliff next to the falls. Since then the fall is known as “Kalikai Fall.” Thus, it comes first in our list of roads less travelled.
