Athirapally Falls is a popular tourist spot located in the Thrissur district. The waterfall cascades down from a height of 80 feet and is surrounded by thick forests. The waterfall is a sight to behold, especially during the monsoon season when the water flow is at its peak. If you are adventurous, you can take a dip in the cool waters of the falls or go for a trek in the nearby forest.
In the morning, head to Charpa Falls, another waterfall located near Athirapally. The falls are smaller in size compared to Athirapally, but still worth the visit. Spend some time admiring the beauty of the falls and then head to the Vazhachal Forest Gardens. The garden is located on the banks of the Chalakkudy River and is home to a variety of flora and fauna. You can take a walk through the garden, or go for a drive in the adjoining forest.
If you have more time, you can visit the nearby Sholayar Dam or take a trip to the nearby hill station of Valparai. If you have less time, you can skip Charpa Falls and spend more time at Athirapally Falls or explore the local villages around Athirapally. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking and trekking. Carry a camera to capture the stunning views of the waterfalls and the forest.
