Top View of Marottichal Waterfalls in Kerala

Marottichal is one the most beautiful and yet tender travel attraction in Kerala. Marottichal is famous for its waterfalls which is accesible around 2-4 kilomters step path which one has to go by foot. Once you reach the top of the hills, you can get an amazing view of the Marottichal waterfalls and you can even go down and take a shower if the water fall is moderate. But in case of extreme waterfall and rough climatic conditions better not to get deep into the waterfalls and stay away from it.

Marottichal has two water falls named Olakkayam and Ilanjippara is located in the Thrissur district of Kerala and from Thrissur you can take a bus via Mannuthy byepass to Mannamangalam and then Marottichal. After 10-20 mins of your walk you will reach the first waterfall Olakkayam where you can have a safe batch and a good time. From there after traveling 3 kms through the rough jungle path, you will reach the second waterfall named Ilanjippara which is the best thing to view.

Also make sure to carry water and food as there would not be any shops during your 3 hour trek upwards to Ilanjippara waterfall. Also take your camera so as to capture the amazing beauty of Marottichal waterfalls.
