About Iruppu falls or Irupu falls or Irpu falls

The majestic cataract (a large waterfall) popularly known among the locals as the LakshmanaTirtha and called as Iruppu Falls around the globe, the magnificent waterfall is popularly visited in each of Bangalore Packages, Coorg Packages and even Kerala Packages as it falls on the Coorg-Wayanad (a part of Kerala) border. It is one among the most scenic cataracts of the nation making it a prime place to visit in Coorg.

Major Attractions

The sacred Lakshmana river eventually confluences with the holy Kaveri. The prime attraction of the waterfall is its enormous length of over 170 feet falling straight into the dense Western Ghat forests which is a sight to behold. The prime feature of the visit to the magnificent falls is its spectacular walk of about twenty minutes through the dense surrounding forest which gives the view of a lifetime of the sparkling white Iruppu falls. Srimangala is the last point to book a vehicle to reach the entry point of the walk. A nominal fee will be asked at the entrance. It stands as a significant highlight and is an essential addition to your Coorg Tour Packages.

Legend

The legends believe that the pious stream of LakshmanaTirtha originated by the Hindu Lord Lakshmana's arrow aimed at the scenic lush Brahmagiri hills. It is also said that the water was called upon the land to quench the thirst of the Hindu Lord Rama on their way to finding the Hindu Goddess and his beloved wife SitaMata. Hence, the fall is named after Lord Lakshmana. 
The Shiva-lingam constructed within the sacred temple of Rameshwara is considered to be placed by the Hindu Lord Rama himself which make it one among the most popular temples of the country and the waterfall among the best places to visit in Coorg.
