Only 80 km from the city of Cochin, the Athirappally Waterfalls and Sholayar Forest are popular tourist destinations and an ideal location for film shooting. Tourist can enjoy these falls from the top of the rocks and watch water rush past to plunge down about 90 ft.

A cliff in the Chalakkudi River forms the falls, which tumbles down ferociously onto the dark granite below, making an awe inspiring sight throughout the year but especially during the monsoon season.
