Arippara Tour Itinerary
- Arippara Waterfalls: Start your day at the stunning Arippara Waterfalls, a cascading beauty nestled amidst lush greenery. The cool mist and roaring sound of the falls create a refreshing atmosphere. You can take a dip in the natural pool at the base or simply relax on the rocks. The surrounding area is perfect for nature photography and birdwatching.

- Thusharagiri Waterfalls: A short drive away lies Thusharagiri, meaning 'misty mountain'. This spectacular waterfall is formed by three streams merging into one. The surrounding area has small pools where you can cool off. It's a popular spot for picnics and photography, with a few local eateries nearby.
