Thusharagiri Waterfalls

Thusharagiri Waterfalls is a forest-and-waterfall destination in the Western Ghats of Kozhikode district, Kerala, near Kodanchery. The name is closely associated with a group of cascades formed by streams descending through the hilly landscape. Kerala Tourism identifies three prominent falls in the area—Erattumukku, Mazhavil Chattom and Thumbithullum Para—making Thusharagiri more of a nature trail experience than a single roadside waterfall.

The surrounding terrain is green, humid and strongly influenced by the monsoon. Plantations, forest edges and hill paths create opportunities for trekking and nature photography, while the sound and volume of the cascades become especially dramatic during the rainy season. The destination also sits in the eastern part of Kozhikode district toward the Western Ghats, giving it a very different character from the district’s beaches and city heritage sites.

Visitors should be prepared for slippery rocks, changing water levels and wet trekking conditions. Access to particular trails or viewpoints can vary with weather and local safety controls, so on-site guidance should be followed. For travellers seeking waterfalls, greenery and an active outdoor experience in Kozhikode, Thusharagiri is one of the district’s key nature attractions.
