01 — The story

Charpa Falls is a waterfall in Athirappilly panchayat in Thrissur district, Kerala, on the Chalakudy River, which flows west to the sea. It lies between the better-known Athirappilly and Vazhachal falls, and travellers on their way to those two often stop here.

The falls come down right beside the road. In the monsoon months, from June to August, the spray and water reach the road itself, while in the dry season the falls stop flowing altogether.
