An easy day out from Kochi or Thrissur, planned by a local operator
Athirappilly Falls, on the Chalakudy River in Thrissur district, is the largest waterfall in Kerala and one of the state's most photographed natural sights. It's an easy, scenic day trip from Kochi or Thrissur — and since we're based in Thrissur, it's a route we know well.
We arrange a private cab for the day, a sensible timing to enjoy the falls before the crowds, and an optional stop at nearby Vazhachal Falls and the green Chalakudy valley. Add it to a Kerala tour or do it as a relaxed standalone day.
