Athirappilly Falls
Athirappilly Falls is situated in Thrissur district of Kerala, Located on the west-flowing Chalakudy River near the Vazhachal Forest Division and the Sholayar ranges. At Athirappilly Falls, the water surges around big rocks and cascades down in three separate plumes. Below the falls, the river remains turbulent for about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) until it reaches Kannamkuzhi. Then it calms and flows smoothly until reaching the dam at Thumburmuzhi.
The journey from Chalakudy to the Athirappilly Falls passes through a landscape of winding roads, small villages and lush green trees. Visitors can reach the top of the waterfall via a paved path that leads through thick bamboo clusters. A steep narrow path also leads to the bottom of the falls. The falls attract visitors from across India, especially during the monsoon months (June–September). About 7 million tourists visit the falls and the Vazhachal picnic spot each year.
Athirapally waterfalls is a picturesque location situated 66km. from Trissur, Kerala , India
Falls two and three. You cannot get a frontal view. It appears that this will be in its full glory during monsoon
Never had an idea it would be this beautiful. We stopped at a view point during our drive back
