Vazhachal Waterfalls

 Vazhachal Falls have dense forests of Sholayar ranges surrounding. During its course on rocky terrain, River Chalakudy gives out in three branches, which resume its flow surrounding the small islands formed by the riparian forests. These three branches gather momentum on its downward course and plummet to the rocky bed of River Chalakudy to reunite.
At Vazhachal do not expect to see water falling or cascading in one or many precise steps. People are drawn here to enjoy more of a horizontal fall. Water gushes down along steeply inclined rocky terrain, in the footsteps of Sholayar hills.

For more adventurous scenes, look up the safaris that go through the Sholayar Forest - you can spot wild animals like Macaques and Langurs, besides elephants and exotic birds! Plus, if you're going from Vazhachal to Athirapally, make sure to drive there. You'll be getting a view of the lovely Chalakudy River as you pass through lush forests with swaying bamboo, teak, sandalwood and plenty of birds and animals, perfect for reconnecting with nature.
There are tree shades and a sitting arrangement built around is a good place to relax with friends and family. The rocky falls are really a must visit spot.
