The village is located right next to the city of Ivano-Frankivsk across the Bystrytsia-Nadvirnyanska River that makes a natural border of the village to the west and northwest.

The railroad also makes the eastern border of the village as well. To the south of Khryplyn is located the village of Cherniiv.
