Geography & terrain

Suruli Falls lies in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu, 50 km from Theni and 15 km from Cumbum — the two-tier falls of the region, its 60-m drop, the caves and the pools set on the Cardamom hills' east edge.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the 1972 park era — the two-tier falls of the 60-m drop and the 1972-era park of the Tamil Nadu tourism life, with the falls' modern role as the monsoon stop of the Theni circuit and the home of the 60-m drop and the natural pools and the 1972-era steps; the falls' history of the 2000s-era walks and the cave corners, gives Suruli its falls character.
