Athirappilly Waterfalls: A Natural Wonder in God’s Own Country
Located in the lush green forests of the Western Ghats in Kerala, India, Athirappilly Waterfalls is a stunning natural wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world. With a height of 80 feet, these waterfalls are the largest in Kerala and are often referred to as the “Niagara Falls of India”.
The waterfalls are formed by the Chalakudy River, which originates from the Anamudi mountains and flows through the Sholayar forests before cascading down the rocks to create the Athirappilly Waterfalls. The area surrounding the falls is rich in biodiversity and is home to several endangered species of plants and animals, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.
Visitors to the falls can take a refreshing dip in the cool waters or simply admire the breathtaking beauty of the falls from the various viewpoints. The falls are surrounded by dense forests and the misty spray of the water creates a mystical atmosphere that adds to the overall experience.
One of the best times to visit Athirappilly Waterfalls is during the monsoon season (June to September) when the falls are at their full force. However, visitors should exercise caution and follow safety guidelines as the rocks can be slippery and the water currents can be strong during this time.
Apart from the waterfalls, the area also has several other attractions such as the Vazhachal Waterfalls, Thumboormuzhi Dam, and the Sholayar Dam. Visitors can also indulge in activities such as trekking, birdwatching, and bamboo rafting in the nearby areas.
In conclusion, Athirappilly Waterfalls is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Kerala. Its stunning natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and serene atmosphere make it an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse oneself in nature’s splendor.
