Athirappilly Waterfalls


Today, October 4 Sunday, we visited Athirappilly Waterfalls.   This park is very near to Cochi.
(I am including the date because I have not posted for several days and I am trying to catch up.)




It is a beautiful waterfalls park in the mountains near Cochi.  It is unlike a waterfalls in the United States.  Here, people are allowed to get into the water near the falls without worry of being swept over the waterfalls.  I had my camera ready just in case.
 


The walkway to the falls does not have good footing.  It is just the natural rock formation.  There are no guardrails to hold on to when climbing up or down.  It is slick but nobody seemed to have any trouble gaining traction and not slipping.


The picture above was from the top of the falls.  Here is some video from the bottom.  It is not Niagra Falls but it is still pretty impressive.

All in all, it was a good experience.  I enjoyed the views.  You would think that because we were in the mountains, the weather would be very cool.  Actually, the temperature was warm and it was very humid.  I worked up a sweat walking up and down the trails around the falls.

That evening, we left Cochi and traveled to Hyderabad.  Our work week begins there.
