People call this the “Niagara of India”, it is the largest waterfall in Kerala. While the monsoon turns the Chalakudy River into a terrifyingly beautiful torrent, summer is arguably the best time to actually enjoy Athirappilly.<\/p>\n

Getting there: It’s roughly a 60 km drive from Thrissur and 50 km from the Cochin airport. If you’re taking the train, get off at Chalakudy and grab a taxi.<\/p>\n
