Thusharagiri
Thusharagiri, one of the most beautiful destinations in Kozhikode cuddled in the folds of the Western Ghats is known for its picturesque waterfalls. Lying 50 km from Kozhikode, the Thusharagiri Waterfalls comprises three other falls which can be reached through trekking.
Your entire trek through the woods in the early morning to reach this stream, and drench yourself in water is finally justified, as you take another dip. But no, the fun doesn’t stop here in Thusharagiri, for in this place, cascades come not in single, but in merry battalion.
TREKKING TRAILS
The trek to the waterfalls
A place where two streams merge to become a river – Chalippuzha river- water cannot stop from leaping over rocky hills, just once. A trek starts from the hanging bridge, goes further up, from where you found this stream, get your gear ready for the real adventures, as Thusharagiri has only begun. Further inside the woods, more waterfalls wait for your dip. They are the Eerattumukku, Mazhavil Chattam and Thumpithullum para waterfall, the real gem which is hidden deep in the trail.
On the trail one can meet Thanni Muthassi or the Grandmother Thanni, a Thanni tree (Bedda Nut Tree) which is believed to be 400 years old. Hollow inside, Thanni Muthassi can accommodate 3 persons at a time.
Ready for a day’s hike like that? Here’s the reward. At the end of the day, you’d reach Vythiri up the Ghats at Wayanad!
