Arippara Waterfalls
Looking for a refreshing summer escape? Arippara Waterfalls in the Kozhikode district of Kerala is the perfect destination. Tucked deep within the scenic countryside, this lesser-known waterfall is a hidden gem that promises tranquility and natural beauty.
The majestic Iruvanji River cascades down rocky hills to form the stunning Arippara Waterfalls. This eight-level waterfall is accompanied by features with intriguing names such as Sullukallu, Vattakkuzhi, Nirannapara, Olichuchaattom, Shwasakkuzhi, and Neelakkayathadaakam. The falls are situated about 15 kilometers from Thiruvambady town in Kozhikode. The name Arippara, meaning "rock of rice," hints at the many small and large rocks that surround the area. These rocks create several natural water pools, perfect for swimming and enjoying the pristine waters, which flow through cracks in the rocks with a soothing, musical backdrop.
A visit to Arippara Waterfalls offers more than just a refreshing dip—it provides a chance to experience the charm of Kerala’s countryside and its rich biodiversity. The waterfall is most impressive during the monsoon season when it reaches its full splendor, cascading torrents of water like streams of white pearls from its heights. Despite its beauty, Arippara remains a secluded spot, offering peaceful surroundings year-round.
For those who love nature, Arippara is an unmissable destination in God’s Own Country. The combination of peaceful environs, lush greenery, and the contrast of huge black boulders creates an awe-inspiring scene that will leave you marveling at the beauty of nature. Nearby, you can also visit Thusharagiri Waterfalls, located just 12 kilometers away, to further explore the natural wonders of the region.
