You feel a strange peace as you walk down the stone steps that lead to the Athirappilly waterfalls’ base. With a height of over 80 feet, it is Kerala’s most famous and largest waterfall. You are left with a sense of awe at the sheer power and beauty of nature when you see the water crash to the ground. Situated around 63 km from Thrissur region, it is a lasting outing spot for individuals nearby and then some. Its encompassing vegetation is ideally suited for strolls and picnics with friends and family. It is a part of the Chalakudy River that lives in the Western Ghats and is located at the Sholayar forest ranges’ entrance.
Vazhachal Waterfalls, another family-favorite, is just 5 kilometers away. These waterfalls gained not only fame for their view but also for the endemic species that live in the dense forests surrounding them. The Western Ghats’ sole habitat for four endangered Hornbill species has been identified as this location. This area is very important to ornithologists, and birders can find a lot of interesting and rare species there.
From Chalakudy to Malakkapara, daily jungle safaris are organized by the district’s Tourism Promotion Council and the Athirapally administrative body. It is a 90 km visit across the wonderful Sholayar range through Kerala’s rainforests. Butterfly Garden, Vazhachal Falls, Kauthuka Park, Thumboormuzhy Dam, Athirapally Falls, and other attractions are included.
Athirapally Cascades are open by journey. You can take in the stunning views all along the well-maintained route. Monkeys and birds will keep you company. Additionally, you might spot Samba deer if you’re lucky. The view from the base of the falls will take your breath away.
The Athirapally Waterfalls are open year-round and never run dry. However, even though the waterfall is at its best during the monsoon season, heavy rains can be a nuisance. Therefore, September through January is the ideal time to visit.
