Along the Way
The Road from Thrissur to Athirappilly
Pickups run from Swaraj Round, Thrissur railway station, the Sakthan bus stand or any hotel in town. The car heads south on NH544 through Ollur, Amballur and Pudukkad, a quick four-lane stretch. The Thrissur to Athirappilly via Chalakudy route leaves the highway at Chalakudy town and follows the river east past Vettilappara and wide oil palm plantations. The Thrissur to Athirappilly distance by road is about 60 km, with the last 30 km on a narrow, shaded forest road. Just before the falls, a Thrissur to Thumboormuzhi dam taxi stop shows the old irrigation dam, its butterfly garden and a hanging bridge over the river. It is a calm place for children. At Athirappilly, a paved trail leads down to the base of the 80-foot falls, which takes about 20 minutes each way. A Thrissur to Charpa falls taxi pause comes next, where water crosses right beside the road and no ticket is needed. Five kilometres further, a Thrissur to Vazhachal falls taxi stop covers the wide forest cascade, using the same Athirappilly ticket. A Thrissur to Malakkappara taxi continues another 50 km through the Sholayar forest to the tea estates on the Tamil Nadu border, with forest checkpost timings and photo-only stops.
