Abbey Falls

This largest Elephant Capturing and training Camp of the Forest Department at the edge of the Dubare Forest, on the bank of the River Kaveri is a place to see. They captured the Elephants and kept in wooden cages for six months. The Tribe Kurbas helped to captured it. The elephants were used to attend to odd jobs like lifting heavy logs. But first they trained them. In the evening they are treated with a special treat of Ladoos made of Ragi and Jaggery – size of Cannon Balls ! Some of the tourists are given ride in the evenings.

While in Irrupu Falls, you can locate that in South of Brahamgiri Range of Hills, river Lakshmana Tirtha Flows. This river made by the Laxmanas Bow falls into a Cataract known as Irruppu Falls. They said that this place is holy. They cleanse the sins on anyone who prayed wishfully. Near the Irruppu Falls is a temple dedicated to Lord Rama who passed this place while looking for his beloved wife Sita along with younger brother Laxman. So, Irruppu falls is both a beautiful place and a religious place.
