Athirapally Waterfalls

  At a distance of 70 kms from Kochi & 160 Kms from Coimbatore, this waterfall drops from a height of 80 feet through several parallel streams offering a great scenic beauty. In monsoon season, the water gets strength and all the streams join together and appear like Niagara Falls.

  One can reach top of the falls with about 5 minutes walk from nearest road. It offers spectacular views of the Sholayar hills and a unique view of the waterfalls from this spot. About 10-15 minutes trek down from top of the falls will take you to bottom of the falls where the greatest beauty of the falls can be experienced. Swimming is possible in the stream at bottom of the falls.

   Chalakudy (30 Kms) is the nearest junction to Athirapally and it's connected by bus with Thrissur (55 Kms), Kochi and Palakkad (110 Kms). One can take public/private vehicle from Chalakudy to reach Athirapally.
