Seek Blessings at the Various Places of Worship
Virajpet has several places of worship that are not restricted to just temples alone and are also not visited by pilgrims only but also by tourists alike. Although the most popular temples in the place are Shiva Temple and Ayappa Temple, both of which are situated near Malethirike hill; there is also a strikingly beautiful 220 years old church - St. Anne’s Church which boasts of gorgeous architecture. In addition to that, you can also visit the Rahmaniya Mosque to find peace. -
Chelavara Falls
Another point of attraction is Chelavara Falls which is situated just 22 km away from Virajpet. Cascading down a huge height, the gushing water forms a pool at the base, where the visitors can swim. You can reach here by a short and easy trek and get some food to celebrate a small picnic. -
