Geography & terrain

Thirparappu Falls lies in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, 55 km from Kanyakumari and 5 km from Kulasekaram — the cascade falls of the region, its 50-ft drop, the pools and the park set on the Western Ghats' south edge.

History & culture

The falls' story runs with the 1970s park era — the cascade falls of the 50-ft drop and the 1970s-era park of the Tamil Nadu tourism life, with the falls' modern role as the family stop of the Kanyakumari circuit and the home of the 50-ft drop and the bathing pools and the 1970s-era steps; the falls' history of the 2000s-era walks and the river corners, gives Thirparappu its cascade character.
