Suruli falls is about 56 km from Theni and 10 km from Cumbum. The stream of falls originates from periyar mountain range. Suruli Falls that drops from a height of 150 feet gathers into a pool, flows for a short distance and again plummets to a depth of 40 feet, offering a spectacular sight of nature’s raw and wild beauty. The dense forests that surround it provide an awesome backdrop. Facilities are available to bathe in the waters of these falls.The special feature of the fall is that it is “a round the year” fall. However, the best season to visit is June–October, when the water column is heaviest.
