Really exhausted after a hectic week at the office or college? Well, it\u2019s time to recharge your batteries and start afresh! How about escaping to a destination that\u2019ll give you a mixed dose of adventure and peace? Then, start your journey to enjoy Thusharagiri waterfalls. Thusharagiri waterfalls one of the\u00a0most beautiful waterfalls in Kerala<\/a><\/p>\n

Nestled in the lap of the Western Ghats, 50 kms away from Kozhikode, this tourist attraction is largely an unexplored place. Thusharagiri literally means \u2018mist-capped peak\u2019. The verdant landscape of Thusharagiri covered with mist and snow presents a mind-blowing picture to a visitor.<\/p>\n

Two streams that begin their journey from the Western Ghats converge here to form the river, Chalippuzha. The river, then, diverges into three cascades to form a snowy spray; that\u2019s how Thusharagiri got its name. The sight of the waterfalls gently caressing the rocky, hilly terrain simply soothes your senses.<\/p>\n

Thusharagiri comes under the Eco-Tourism Division of the Kerala<\/a> Govt. There are three main waterfalls in this protected area \u2013 Erattumukku, Mazhavil Chattom and Thumpi Thullum Para. The first two waterfalls are within \u00bd a km radius; the third one is almost a km away. If you can go further, you can reach Thenpara, situated at a height of 75 metres. It has the highest waterfall in Thusharagiri.<\/p>\n

As you ascend to the top, you will be greeted by the waterfalls, lush greenery, ravines and streams, rubber, areca nut and spices plantations and exotic wildlife.<\/p>\n

There are camping sites where you can rest for a while and admire the ravishing beauty of the Nature. Another star attraction of Thusharagiri is the 120 year old Thanni tree, locally known as Thanni Muthassi<\/em> (Grandmother Thanni). The main feature of this tree is that it is hollow inside and can accommodate, at a time, 3 persons into its lower reaches.
