Athirappilly Falls, Waterfall in Thrissur District, Kerala, India.
The Athirappilly Falls drops 80 feet from the Chalakudy River, creating three separate cascades that spread across a width of 330 feet.
The waterfall gained national attention in 1982 when government officials proposed constructing a hydroelectric dam project upstream on the Chalakudy River.
The natural formation serves as a filming location for Indian cinema productions, including scenes from notable films like Dil Se and Raavanan.
Visitors can access the falls through multiple viewing platforms, with the closest transportation hub located at Chalakudy railway station 32 kilometers away.
The surrounding forest houses four endangered hornbill species, making it the only location in the Western Ghats with this ecological distinction.
