Athirapally Waterfalls is a stunning waterfall that cascades down amidst lush greenery, offering a mesmerizing view. It's a perfect place for families to enjoy nature and relax. You can take a dip in the cool waters, take a boat ride or trek to the Vazhachal Forest Gardens nearby. Kids can also enjoy a fun-filled day at the Silver Storm Amusement Park, just 7.5 miles away.
The Alleppey Backwaters comprise a network of canals, lagoons, and lakes. Families can enjoy a leisurely houseboat ride or go on a village tour, exploring the countryside, interacting with locals, and trying out exotic dishes. Kids can have fun fishing or trying their hand at traditional crafts such as coir-making. You can also visit the Pathiramanal Island Bird Sanctuary for a nature walk or take a trip to the St. Mary's Forane Church, the oldest in the region.
If you have more time, you can visit other family-friendly places like the Cherai Beach, Wonderla Amusement Park, or the Eravikulam National Park, where you can see the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. If you have less time, you can skip the Silver Storm Amusement Park or the St. Mary's Forane Church. Don't forget to carry sunscreen, hats, and insect repellent, especially during summers. Also, dress modestly, as most attractions are religious places that require proper attire.
