These stunning cascades, often referred to as the ‘Niagara of India,’ plunge from a height of 80 feet. The waters begin their journey gently from the high ranges, flowing down through lush gorges adorned with verdant forests. The soothing roar of the waterfalls fills the air, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere. As you walk along the rocky pathways, you can admire the enchanting white spray of the falls, which looks almost magical. Enjoy the breathtaking views, capture memorable photographs, and soak in the pristine natural beauty. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Kochi. Upon arrival, check in at the hotel for an overnight stay.
After breakfast at the hotel, drive to Alappuzha, known for its traditional houseboat cruises through Kerala’s backwaters.
