THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DECIDING

POINTS NOT IN FAVOUR

1. Location

Kerala is a far away place from the capital, not just Kerala but the Athirappilly falls are also located far away from the nearest railway or the airports which makes it a long and tiring journey to it. The pre weddings shoot at Athirappilly might can take more than 4 days as well according to all the travelling and settling in the atmosphere.

2. Area Limited

Athirappilly is the largest fall In Kerala and hence a dangerous one also which is why the Forest Department of the Kerala Govt. has set some limit of the nearest watching point of the Falls which is safer to visit. Hence, The area is limited and also prone the the public gathering around giving lesser space to the couples for their pre wedding shoot.

3. No Changing Room

The Athirappilly lacks the availability of the hotels and therefore also lacks the availability of nearby changing rooms which means they can not choose more than one outfit for the pre wedding videos and photographs as it is next to impossible. It will lead to a long pause which is also stupid to take because it will slow the process of the pre wedding shooting and also lessens the excitement of it.

4. No Restaurants

Being in the mid of the natural spaces and landscapes the Athirappilly Falls have faraway located restaurants and hotels. Just a few one or two hotels that falls into the radius of 2-3 kms. This is a negative point as the couple can not leave the shoot in between if they feel hungry or something as that would mean a long pause in the pre wedding shoot and also the couple has to go out from the falls premises.

5. No Privacy

Athirappilly is one of  the most popular tourist places in Kerala which makes it occupied with the tourists and the visitors almost all the time. Famous places comes with their own drawbacks and the public gathering and places leave less space for the couple to complete their pre wedding shoot in quiet and peace. They have to face the little troubles finding a place and spaces for their shoot and to get the right angles can be tricky sometimes. Waiting and patience will cover the maximum time of the couples.
