The Lakkom Stream forms 7300 feet above sea level in the watershed region of the Eravimala Plateau and flows into Eravikulam National Park, the fragile home land of the Nilgiri tahr and the mysterious Neelakkurinji (a flower which blooms once in 12 years).

The stream is a major tributary of the River Pambar.  The waterfall in the vicinity of the stream’s source is a small one but they grow larger as it nears the river. Lakkom flows eastward toward the Pambar, like the other two east flowing rivers Kabani and Bhavani.
