USA - Niagara Falls
| Athirappalli and Vazhachal |
What do you think of the images above ? On the left, you can see USA Niagara Falls picture that I took when I visited it. And on the right its Athirappalli and Vazhachal which I heard of.
Athirappalli and Vazhachal is in a way India's Niagara Falls. Its so gorgeous. I should visit it pretty soon.
Athirappalli and Vazhachal, the two scenic and popular waterfalls on the edge of the Sholayar forest ranges are just 5 km apart. The Athirappalli Falls joins the Chalakkudy river after plummeting down a drop of 80 feet. Vazhachal is part of the Chalakkudy river. Both the waterfalls, their cool, misty waters cascading down in the backdrop of thick green forest and rocky terrain, are a scintillating experience to visitors.
