We planned for a three day trip to Coorg (Kodagu) and reached VirajPete Friday evening after having lunch at UshaSuresh Cukkemane at Mysuru. They also joined us for the trip, going around in my Mahindra KUV100. with me in the driver's seat.
Our host, Major VenkataGiri Saya and his wife Vanaja also joined us, as six of us comfortably could go in my KUV.
The Irupu Falls is located in the BrahmaGiri range of Kodagu District, Karnataka. It is a fresh water cascade an is situated at a distance of 48 Km from VirajaPete.
The falls is also known as the Lakshmana Tirtha Falls, derived from the name of the tributary of Cauvery which starts from these falls, Lakshmana Tiratha River.
There is a huge Shiva Temple, The Rameshwara Temple situated on the banks of the Lakshmana Tirtha River, en route to the falls.
The time of the year we went was summer, there wasn't gush of water, but beautiful sight of waterfalls was there. We have to walk a distance, climb up the steps, not well maintained, to reach the spot where the water falls. Many people were standing under the water and getting Tirtha sprinkled on them.
After spending about an hour, we walked back and had lunch at a mess.
Returned to Virajpete by 4 pm.
