Suruli Falls, Waterfall in Theni district, India
Suruli Falls is a waterfall in Theni district, India, that drops through a forested valley in the Western Ghats. The water tumbles over several rock ledges and forms natural pools along the slope.
The waterfall appears in old Tamil texts that describe its connection to medicinal plants. Over the centuries it remained a place people came to for its clear water.
The name comes from Tamil and refers to healing water once collected here. Local families visit on holidays and enjoy the cool water between the rocks.
Access follows a path through the forest that can get slippery during rain. Those planning to swim should watch for marked areas since some spots have deep water.
The water flows throughout the year because underground springs feed it. This keeps the waterfall active even during dry months, which is rather rare in this region.
