Cheeyappara Waterfalls
ചീയപ്പാറ വെള്ളച്ചാട്ടം
A seven-tiered waterfall right beside the national highway from Kochi to Munnar. It is the first stop on the way into the hills and needs no hiking.
The falls lie beside National Highway 85 between Kochi and Munnar, on the Neriamangalam stretch about 40 km from Munnar. The water drops in seven tiers down the cliff, right beside the road, so no hiking is required. It is usually visited together with Valara Falls, about 1 km away. The volume is impressive during the monsoon and thins in the dry season. Roadside parking is limited and monkeys are common, so keep your food secure.
