Athirapally & Vazhachal Falls Day Trip
Athirapally drops 80 feet over a wide ledge where the Chalakudy river leaves the Sholayar rainforest for the coastal plain — it is the largest waterfall in Kerala and the opening shot of more than one Indian film. Vazhachal is a short drive upstream, quieter, with a walk along the river through forest. Best in the monsoon and just after, when the volume is serious.
