Athirapally trek
This trek conducted by Kerala forest department. It's an easy trek. The hike starts beside Athirapally waterfall and can be completed in about 4-5 hours. The trek has to be arranged in advance. A minimum number of 6 people are required to book the trek. The trek in July-24 cost me Rs 1500. Lunch and guide fees are included in this. See photo for booking details.
It rained heavily during my hike. Trekking in the heavy rain was quite a refreshing experience. The leaches can be a bit of a bother. So be prepared with salt or leech socks. The highlight of the trip has to be the view from the top of Athirampally waterfall; a view most people never get to see.
