Thusharagiri Falls, Cascading waterfall in Kozhikode district, India
Description
Thusharagiri Falls is a waterfall system comprising three separate tiers along the Chalippuzha River in Kozhikode. The cascades drop into natural pools surrounded by rocky cliffs and vegetation typical of the Western Ghats.
History
The waterfall system was shaped by centuries of river erosion cutting through the soft rock of the Western Ghats region. This geological process created the layered cascade structure visible today.
Culture
Local tribal communities near Thusharagiri Falls maintain traditional practices of spice cultivation, including pepper and ginger in the surrounding plantations.
Practical
The best time to visit is early morning when water flow is strongest and crowds are minimal. Access is via a hiking trail with moderate slopes that takes about an hour to complete.
Did you know?
A massive hollow tree called Thanni grows along the hiking path and is large enough to fit several people inside its trunk. This natural tunnel is an unusual structure that many visitors overlook.
