Roads on athirappily is like an endless way which is covered with spinney trees and forest . Entry is restricted due to low civilisation at some places, but its rich in greenary and tranquility. Vazhachal waterfall and Chapra waterfalls are situated on the way and both are cool and misty waters cascading down in the backdrop of the thick green forest and rocky terrain, are a scintillating experience to visitors and photographers.
Thumboormuzhi , one for the best evening spot is located at Chalakudy, on the way to Athirapilly waterfalls . With a dam, butterfly garden, childrens park and hanging bridge , its a best place to chill with family and friends. I could experience silence all over and its filled with coversation between butterflies and birds. Its an ideal space for greenery and sparkling golden rays of mother nature which add its beauty.
Athirapilly waterfalls, the largest waterfall in Kerala , is one of the famous tourist destination which is located on the way from Valparai to Chalakudi road . We parked our car down, took tickets and walked through the way . I was eagerly waiting for this enomorous flow of water and its ambience . We climbed to the top where I could see many people chatting each other and watching the flow of water which add beauty to the nature . I took some pictures in front of it and it felt like a dream for me to witness those vibrating climate . Waterfalls are like our life …. Its never ending and is always moving with an uneven flow . It is also know as Bahubali waterfall as most of the scens were shot in the backdrops of Athirapilly . There is a small hut near the waterfall and it always stay still even during flood season, which is an unbelievable fact for the people . I heard some people leading to see viewpoint from bottom which encouraged me to join with them . We were a group of 10 people and we covered ourselves in jackets as rain started to flow . The ambience was chilling and we walked through the forest for our destination . Our guide explained about big tress and how it got affected due to flood and other calamities . Finally our wait was over and we reached at the bottom line of Athirapilly !! Oh God, the view was erotic and beyond belief !! I could see a gingantic group of water rushing downwards like thunder . I stood there freezing in cold for a while and I couldn’t move because of the view. Its seraphic and still I feel enchanted by its beauty and its a must try destination at least one in our lifetime !!
