ATHIRAPILLY, VAZHACHAL
The scenic beauty of
Athirapilly waterfalls presents a spectacular visual extravagance to visitors.
A very popular picnic spot, Athirapilly is located close to Chalakudy in
Kerala. The falls are located amidst dense forests and the entire region looks
‘picture-perfect’ in every way. Athirapilly-Vazhachal waterfalls are situated
on the edge Sholayar forest ranges, just 5 kms apart.This sparkling cascade of
silvery water, falls from a height of approximately 80 mts to join the
Chalakudy river below.
You can
have a spectacular view from the top of the waterfalls when you walk through
the rock pathway that leads from the main entrance. And for those with an
adventurous streak, there is a fantastic view from the bottom of the waterfalls
which can be reached with a little bit of trekking on slippery mountain trails.
It’s a beautiful trail and you can
relish the water from the falls sprinkling all over you. The view of the entire
landscape is amazing.
But the falls can be
treacherous, especially during the monsoons due to the slippery grounds,
changing currents and the presence of huge rocks. So, enjoy the view, but be
careful, all the same. Best Time to Visit Athirapilly Waterfalls is July to
September. Unique attractions in and around Athirapilly Waterfalls are Chapra
