Bluemist Resorts is a four star hotel outside Chalakudy, in Thrissur district, Central Kerala, and 400 m from Athirappilly, about 5 minutes on foot. The one thing that decides whether it is right for you is whether you want to be inland, close to the falls, with the facilities of a full resort. It suits travellers who plan around the river and the forest; not those who want a town or coast base.
What Bluemist Resorts lists
Bluemist Resorts is a four star property with an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a terrace for the hours between outings. Air conditioning, a refrigerator and a balcony are standard in the rooms, and family rooms are available. The resort runs a restaurant, a bar and room service, with a banquet hall for group events.
Practical support includes a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security, laundry, luggage storage and car hire. Free WiFi and free parking remove two common frictions. Non smoking rooms are available, and there is a picnic area on the grounds. No guest score is on file, so the star rating and the facilities list are the only measures here.
Where the resort sits
The address is Athirappilly Vettilappara Pariyaram, outside Chalakudy, in the wider Thrissur district. Chalakudy is a town in Thrissur district and the nearest town, and the resort is 24.7 km from the centre of Chalakudy. The setting is inland, in Central Kerala, with the Chalakudy river and the Vazhachal forest as the main neighbours.
The resort is 400 m from Athirappilly, about 5 minutes on foot. Athirappilly is Falls. The altitude runs from 80 to 400 m. The falls are where the Chalakudy river drops eighty feet at the edge of the Vazhachal forest, in the wettest rainforest left in the state. An hour and a half from Kochi, and a different climate at the end of it.
Who this resort suits
Bluemist Resorts suits travellers who treat Athirappilly as the point of the trip. It is for people who want to walk to the falls in about 5 minutes and return to a pool, a hot tub and a restaurant. It does not suit anyone who wants a town centre on the doorstep, or who dislikes a 24.7 km run to Chalakudy for supplies.
Planning your stay
June to November is the season for water, when the falls carry full volume and the surrounding forest is at its wettest. The viewing paths close when the river is in flood, so a visit in peak monsoon can mean seeing the water from a distance rather than from the paths. Outside those months, the falls are quieter and the weather drier, but the full spectacle is a monsoon sight. There is no guest score on file to weigh against the season.

When is the best time to visit Athirappilly?
June to November for water. The falls are at full volume in and just after the monsoon, which is the opposite of the usual Kerala calendar. The viewing paths close when the river is in flood, so the heaviest rain can limit access to the paths while still giving the fullest river.
