Why to visit Athirapally Falls

It is Kerala's largest waterfall, standing 1000 feet above sea level at a height of 25 metres (82 feet) with four waterfalls and a width of 100 metres (330 feet). It is a prominent tourist attraction in Kerala, located on the boundary of Ernakulum and Thrissur districts, and attracts a diverse spectrum of visitors each season. Several streams lead down to the 80-foot level of the waterfall.

It comes from the upper reaches of the Western Ghats, near the Sholayar region's entry. The Athirappilly waterfalls run toward the Arabian Sea through the lush vegetation of the Vazhachal forest, offering a stunning vista of glistening water, emerald forests, and azure sky. The magnificent waterfalls are well worth the trip. Along with international visitors, the beautiful grandeur of Athirappilly Falls draws a large number of filmmakers, and the area has been used in a number of South Indian and North Indian films.

The marvellously entwined lush green trees that cover the regions of Sholayar, the sizzling silver cascade, and Athirappilly's placement near the centre of Cochin and Bharathapuzha make it a truly promising land during the monsoon season.
