Athirapally is located in Chalakudi, Kerala. The shortest (and easiest) route from Coimbatore is via Palakkad, Thrissur. The falls is around 65 kms from Thrissur.
There is also another longer, awesome (but rather arduous) route via Pollachi, Valparai, Sholayar and Athirapally.
We are planning for a trip to Athirappali falls. We were unaware of a route existing between Valpari and Athirapalli. Does it join the road which originates from Pollachi, goes through Topslip, Perambikulam, Athirapally and finally reaches Chalakudi?
I would like to know more info about this route? Do you mind being contacted by me regarding this?
Please give your contact details to me, if you do not mind.
There is in fact a route from Valparai to Athirapalli and it is one heck of a route
It starts from Pollachi, goes to Valparai, Sholayar Dam and then to Athirapalli. It doesn’t go via Topslip or Parambikulam.
Hope this helps. Have a great trip and do let me know how it went
