My TripAdvisor Review No.607: Vazhachal Falls, Kerala.

Laidback Gently Flowing Waterfalls.

Compared to the Athirappilly Falls, the Vazhachal Falls is a very laidback gently cascading waterfall which tumbles down the rocks in a leisurely manner. Nevertheless, it is in a very beautiful setting at the edge of the lush green Sholayar Reserve Forest with lush green trees all around and a lot of monkeys to give you company. There is a fencing along the flowing water so as to prevent people from venturing on to the slippery rocks. The falls are in full force during the monsoons.

Vazhachal is upstream on the Chalakudy River and we had to drive up another 5 km from the Athirappilly parking area along a very narrow but well paved road. The road was so narrow that we had to literally squeeze past the cars coming from the opposite direction. The forest entry charges are common for both the falls. Vazachal was less crowded than Athirappilly on the Sunday when we visited. There were some snacks and coffee shops near the falls.
Date of experience: December 2019
