Every year, the monsoon arrives in Munnar, bringing with it a handful of seasonal visitors – waterfalls. Countless beautiful waterfalls emerge seemingly out of nowhere in the hilly terrain of this popular tourist spot as the rain starts to fall. Irachilpara Waterfalls, located near Kanthalloor, is a stunning cascade nestled within the picturesque woods of Iravikulam National Park in Rajamala. Nature enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to visit this enchanting waterfall.
The monsoon arrived late this year, but after a few recent rains, Irachilpara is now flowing in full glory, attracting tourists to the area. This one-thousand-foot-tall waterfall is located on the path from the entrance area in Anjam Mile to Rajamala. The water from the Chinnanamudi hills, situated on the lower part of the 8,842 feet high Anamudi ranges, meanders through the massive rocks before cascading into the breathtaking waterfall.
Interestingly, Irachilpara is the largest waterfall in Munnar. This beautiful destination is also home to other stunning waterfalls such as Lakkam, Nayamakad, Aattukad, Periya Canal, and Viripara. The vehicles of the forest department that transport tourists into the national park often stop here, allowing visitors to enjoy a close view of this waterfall. However, the waterfall will disappear once the monsoon season ends.
