Athirapilly

Athirappilly Waterfalls

The Athirapilly falls is situated 1000 ft above sea level on the Chalakudy river, at the entrance to the Sholayar ranges of the Western Ghats, Athirappalli is a scenic combination of forests and little streams.  These falls are located near the Sholayar range.  The Chalakudy river initially runs smoothly but becomes more turbulent as it nears Athirappilly.  At Athirappilly Falls, the water surges around big rocks and cascades down in three separate plumes. Below the falls, the river remains turbulent for about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) until it reaches Kannamkuzhi. Then it calms and flows smoothly until reaching the dam at Thumburmuzhi.
