Iruppu Falls
ಇರ್ಪು ಜಲಪಾತ
A forest waterfall with a drop of about 50 meters inside Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, next to the Rameshwara Temple.
Iruppu Falls lies in Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary in southern Coorg, where the Lakshmana Tirtha River drops about 50 meters in two tiers. Beside the parking area stands the ancient Rameshwara Temple. Legend says Lakshmana, Rama's brother, shot an arrow that released this water. During the Shivaratri festival, pilgrims bathe under the falls to wash away their sins. A shaded trail of about 800 meters leads from the entrance. Admission is about Rs 50, and the falls are open roughly from 6:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. They may close during the rainy season, and leeches are common, so watch your step. It is about 70 km from Madikeri and can be combined with Nagarhole.
