Enjoy a serene experience in the presence of nature at the magnificent Hoggenakkal Falls, also known as the "Niagara of India". Indulge in a coracle ride in the swirling waters of River Kaveri which will give you a view of the falls from up close. Explore the lush greenery surrounding the falls, and refresh the soul with a dip in the cool water. There are several local vendors selling unique and tasty snacks that you can relish while taking in the beauty of the surroundings.
Visit the mesmerizing Shivanasamudra Falls, which boasts the title of Asia's First Hydro-Electric Power Station. Walk along the Kaveri River and enjoy the view of the twin falls - Gaganachukki and Bharachukki - from a point where they join. Experience the tranquillity as you pass through lush green forests, and enjoy the gorgeous natural scenery which surrounds the falls as it rushes to join the sea.
If you have more time, visit Hogenakkal Eco-Tourism, which offers trekking, fishing, and camping activities. However, check if it is open before visiting due to weather conditions. If you have less time, skip Shivanasamudra Falls, and explore the local markets to relish some of the area's cultural and traditional delights. It's always better to carry sunscreen, hats, and comfortable shoes for the trek. To fully immerse yourself in the nature of the area, plan the trip during the monsoon season when the falls reach their peak. Do not enter the water during the monsoon season as the currents can be strong.
