Athirappalli and Vazhachal (Indian Niagara falls)
Athirappalli and Vazhachal
Athirappalli Vazhachal - Location : 63 km from Thrissur.

Athirappalli and Vazhachal, the two scenic and popular waterfalls on the edge of the Sholayar forest ranges are just 5 km apart. The Athirappalli Falls joins the Chalakkudy river after plummeting down a drop of 80 feet. 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.

Athirappalli Vazhachal - Getting there : A good motorable road takes you to Vazhachal and Athirappalli from either Kochi or Thrissur town.

Athirappalli Vazhachal - Nearest railway station : Thrissur, about 63 km.

Athirappalli Vazhachal - Nearest airports : Cochin International Airport, about 58 km from Thrissur.

RE: Athirappalli and Vazhachal (Indian Niagara falls)
goodpost Excellent review

Here are some pics of "Gokak falls" which is situated in Karnataka

The water in these pics are muddy but trust me its having more clear water and gets a good number of visitors in its season time...

The water will raise till the bridge (can see in the 1st pic, a hanging bridge). At that time the bridge will be closed.

There is a challenge played over that bridge, without holding the sides you have to run to the other end, trust me its almost impossible (except PB i know Grin ). I myself tried it many times but wasnt successful. The reason is the bridge swings about 2-3 mts from its original position so we feel we are about to fall down.

I have some pics taken by me itself will upload it in the evening.

It is a very good spot to visit. It is an upcoming tourist centre and hence you will find lesser buildings and other structures harming the scenic beauty. Many of my friends have gone there and have high opinion about this place. But I will suggest you visit silent valley forest if it your only destination in Kerala.
Nice pics KK. Beautiful place.
