Athirappalli
and Vazhachal, the two scenic and popular waterfalls on the edge of the
Sholayar forest ranges are just 5 km apart.
The falls are very popular with tourists. Athirappally is located 78 kms
from Kochi, located at the entrance to
Sholayar ranges, this waterfall is a popular picnic spot.
Affording to the onlookers, one of the most bewitching sights,
Athirappally Falls is about 80ft. high and located in the forest area.
Combined with the greenery, it infuses freshness into any tired soul. The
Athirapally Falls join the Chalakkudy River after plummeting a drop of 80
feet.
Vazhachal is a picturesque spot just a short drive from Athirapally and
is adjacent to dense green forestland. Vazhachal is part of the Chalakkudy
River.
Both the waterfalls, their cool, misty waters cascading down in the
backdrop of thick green forest and rocky terrain, are a scintillating
experience to visitors.
