Aripara Falls, Natural waterfall in Anakkampoyil, Kerala, India
Aripara Falls is a waterfall in Anakkampoyil, Kerala, where water drops over a series of flat rock formations creating natural pools and cascading movements. The site sits within the Iruvanjippuzha river system and serves as a water source for the surrounding area.
The name comes from Malayalam and means 'rice rock,' referring to the numerous stones scattered throughout the area. The waterfall has long been a natural part of the regional water system.
Local fishing communities depend on the water flow from Aripara Falls, which contributes to their traditional fishing practices and daily sustenance.
The waterfall sits about 46 kilometers from Kozhikode and connects to nearby Anakkampoyil by regular bus services. Visitors should wear proper footwear for rocky terrain and take care during rainfall when the rocks become slippery.
The falls form part of the Iruvanjippuzha river system, where plans exist to implement a hydroelectric power project utilizing the natural water flow.
