1. Step 01

   The Day

   A full day on the Chalakudy river, starting at Athirappilly in the morning, which is the largest waterfall in Kerala at around 80 feet high, and is regularly called the Niagara of India by people who have not seen Niagara. The view from the top is the easy one; the path down to the base takes about twenty minutes and is steep, slippery in the wet months, and completely worth it for standing in the spray. Vazhachal is five kilometres upstream and is a different thing, a broad rapid rather than a plunge, set against rainforest that holds all four South Indian hornbill species. The road between and beyond them runs through the Sholayar range and is one of the best drives in the state, with Charpa falls landing beside the road itself in season.
