Bewitching Beauty of the Nature.Athirapilly Waterfalls in Chalakkudy river- Kerala
Tourists enjoying the milky white Water Falls of Athirapally. Sure about they are getting that cool feeling of the water droplets splashing over from the falls. The waterfalls and the surroundings are always watched out by forest guards and they keeps directing the tourists coming here regarding the safety measures to be taken.

This is the place where you may be directed first by the Guards here in Athirapally.You are allowed go a little more nearer to the falls if the season is not the Monsoons. Guards will allow river bath in a safe place a few meters above this falls. But if it the time of monsoon, no way.I think you also may not be willing to take a bath in a roaring violent stream of river.
From the Woods.

Proper precautions are taken on site to prevent mishaps while swimming and a police camp is always positioned there.
