Athirapally waterfalls
The Athirappilly Falls are situated on the Chalakudy river, which originates in the upper reaches of the Western Ghats. Many endangered and endemic species of flora and founa are found in the forests of the Athirapilly-Vazhachal area. This area is the only place in the Western Ghats where four endangered Hornbill species are seen. The Western Ghats is one of the most important biodiversity hot spot in the world. This valuable natural world is already degraded by mining and hydro electric projects. To reach Athirappilly falls, one have to reach Chalakudy and then take a deviation. The Road comes through a forest and if lucky can see several animals on the way.
It is located 60 km from Thrissur city , 70 km from Kochi city, 55 km from Cochin International Airport, and 30 km from Chalakudy town.
