Athirapally Falls

About this place

Located 60 kms from Thrissur city, Athirapally Falls is a haven for flora and fauna alike. It is a popular picnic spot and the scenic beauty of the waterfall offers spectacular visuals for visitors. Situated in a small place in the Thrissur district of Kerala, the 80 ft high and 330 ft wide Athirapalli falls is a majestic waterfall that is right in front of the Sholayar ranges and is often referred to as the Niagara Falls of India. It is part of the Chalakudy River that originates in the Anamudi mountains of the Western Ghats. The look of this waterfall is very calming and refreshing leaving us baffled. It gives us a sense of happiness and energy like no other. The Athirapalli fall flows through the Vazhachal Forest toward the Arabian Sea making it one of the most beautiful sights you have ever seen. The Athirapally Falls finally joins the Chalakkudy River after crashing down from an altitude of 24 mts above sea level. There are a couple of water theme parks on the way to Athirappilly called Silver Storm and Dream World and many resorts as well.
