A peaceful riverside alternative to crowded tourist hubs.
Located about 10 km before Athirappilly Falls, Ezhattumugham is a tranquil riverside village and eco-tourism hub. Its name means “seven faces of the river,” as the Chalakudy River splits into multiple streams here, creating scenic islands and rapids. Visitors can enjoy leisurely nature walks, a butterfly garden, children’s play areas, and riverside relaxation.
The shallow stretches of the river are popular for bathing and picnic activities, although caution is advised during monsoon. With lush greenery and natural beauty, Ezhattumugham offers a calm retreat away from the bustling tourist crowd of Athirappilly, making it ideal for day trips with family and friends.
