About Charpa Waterfalls
Charpa Waterfalls is a seasonal waterfall located on the west-flowing Chalakudy River in Athirappilly Panchayat, Thrissur district of Kerala. Positioned between the more famous Athirappilly and Vazhachal Falls, this approximately 70-foot waterfall cascades over rocky terrain in multiple tiers. It is a popular roadside stopover for tourists visiting the region, particularly spectacular during monsoon months when water splashes onto the adjacent road.
Visitors guide
Visitors can view the waterfall directly from the roadside without requiring trekking or descent. The waterfall flows beside the road, creating a convenient viewing point. During monsoon season, the water gushes powerfully and may splash onto the road. In the dry season, the flow reduces significantly or stops entirely. The surroundings feature lush green forests and scenic hills of the Western Ghats.
