After two hectic tiring days in Nagarhole, we left to Irupu falls. This place gave us a break and I must mention the history behind this falls. The Irupu Falls (also Iruppu Falls) is located in the Brahmagiri Range in the Kodagu district of Karnataka, bordering the Wayanad district of Kerala. 
It is a fresh water cascade and is situated at a distance of 48 km from Virajpet on the highway to Nagarhole. The Falls are also known as the Lakshmana Tirtha Falls, derived from the name of the tributary of Cauvery which starts from these falls, the Lakshmana Tirtha River. According to popular legend, Rama and Lakshmana, passed along the Bhramagiri range whilst searching for Rama's beloved, Sita. When Rama asked Lakshmana to fetch him drinking water, Lakshmana shot an arrow into the Brahmagiri hills and brought into being the river Lakshmana Tirtha. Due to this legend, the Falls is believed to possess the power to cleanse sins.

After this enchanting place we left to Dubare Forest, where Elephants were the main attraction. This place was tourist attraction with river rafting. Well, these were the places which I felt was worth mentioning in this nature club trip which I had been to, from College.
