This stunning waterfall is situated on the Chalakudy River at the entrance of the Sholayar hill range in the Thrissur district of Kerala. It cascades from a height of 80 feet through multiple streams, providing breathtaking scenic beauty. During the monsoon season, the water gains strength, and all the streams converge, resembling the grandeur of Niagara Falls. Visitors can reach the top of the falls with a short 15-minute walk from the entrance. This vantage point offers spectacular views of the Sholayar hills and a unique perspective of the waterfall itself. A trek of approximately 10-15 minutes down from the top leads to the base of the falls, where one can truly appreciate the waterfall&#8217;s magnificence. Swimming is permitted in the stream at the bottom of the falls.
