The waterfalls of IRPU are a perfect place to relax and unwind in the popular Coorg. The falls rise from the Brahmagiri and are as high as 52 meters. The majestic waterfalls splash across the forested area making the surroundings beautiful and marvelous. On the mountain of Brahmagiri is located the wildlife sanctuary by the same name. The waterfall of IRPU was formed when Laxman shot an arrow in the mountains creating the river Laxman Tirtha while searching for Sita.
