Athirapally Falls

Have you ever heard the sound of water falling from about 80 feet high? If you haven't, visit Athirapally Falls, Kerala.
One sight and you will not able to take you eyes away from it.
Surrounded by lush forest and hills, the scenery in Athirapally is mesmerising.  

Athirapally Falls


How to Reach :  Take train from Cochin (Ernakulam Station) to Chalakkudy. From Chalakudy buses ply every half an hour to Athirapally. The train to Chalakkudy leaves from Ernakulam Station at about 7 am. It takes about 1 hour to reach Chalakuddy. From Chalakuddy, the bus ride to Athirapally takes another 1 hour. The bus journey is beautiful and calm, as it travels through the rubber plantations. After reaching Athirapally complete the registration at the forest office and pay the fees. 
After sight seeing in Athirapally, move on to  Vazhachal Falls which is about 5 kms from Athirapally Falls.

The road to Vazhachal.

 If your ever visit Kochi, keep a day reserve for Athirapally. I bet you will never regret.
