Wonderful trip at Cherai beach and Athirappilly - The forest views were amazing. PALM trees increased the beauty of Athirappilly. The waterfall is the giant one and scenic. Take 2 hrs at least to enjoy the destination. Try to take a jungle safari to see many wild elephants . Cherai beach is the clean one to enjoy .

Bought famous palkova.Took an auto to Thiruvannamalai temple ( Lord Srinivasa Perumal looks exacly like Thiruppathi temple) by 8.15 am. Steps were little steep and good view from there. We had pathaneer which is very famous there.
From there we went to Madavarvalagam Shiva temple ( bigger temple) by the same auto and reached hotel by 11 am. Took rest till 1.15pm. Had wonderful lunch at Hotel Kathiravan AC and boarded bus just in front of this hotel to Sankaran koil.

Bsd Experience - The tickets that were supposedly included in our Viator package were not accepted at either waterfall we visited. Don’t trust Viator because they do not stand behind what they advertise. They would not even refund the amount I paid for the tickets so in essence I double paid.
