Cochin to Chalakudy Tour Package Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Chalakudy sightseeing

• Athirappilly Waterfalls: Located on the Chalakudy River, this 80-foot waterfall is the largest in Kerala and offers a breathtaking sight of water cascading through the lush greenery of the Western Ghats. The site is famous for its appearance in numerous cinematic productions and provides well-maintained pathways for visitors to reach both the top and bottom of the falls. The surrounding riparian forests house several endangered species, making it a critical ecological zone.
• Vazhachal Waterfalls: Situated just a short distance from Athirappilly, Vazhachal Falls is known for its horizontal flow rather than a vertical drop, surrounded by dense endemic flora. The area is part of the Sholayar forest range and serves as a natural habitat for various species of hornbills and other tropical birds. The serene environment and the sound of the rushing Chalakudy River provide a tranquil atmosphere for nature enthusiasts.

Day 2: Local exploration and departure

• Thumburmuzhi Garden and Dam: This destination features a check dam and a vibrant butterfly garden that hosts hundreds of species of colorful butterflies. The hanging bridge connecting the two banks of the river offers a panoramic view of the flowing water and the surrounding forest canopy. It serves as a popular picnic spot with dedicated play areas for children and well-manicured floral displays.
• Ezhattumugham Prakriti Gramam: Known as the Nature Village, this site is located where the Chalakudy River splits into seven streams. The riverbed is characterized by large boulders and shallow waters, allowing for safe exploration near the water’s edge during the dry season. The site is an excellent example of eco-tourism, preserving the natural flow of the river while providing amenities for day visitors.
