Trip to Hogenekal Falls

It is located in the dharmapuri district of the southern Indian state of Tamilnadu about 180 kms from Bangalore. It is sometimes referred to as the "Niagara of India". We planned to visit hogenekal in the month of Sept. It was a day trip and we started early in the morning. My colleagues had given some tips about what to eat and what to expect.We reached and took a look around only coracle ride were available. This is how a coracle boat looks like.


The inside story was little scary...it was flooded due to monsoon seasone. Infact while sailing we realised water started gushing in the boat and the local guy had to park us on a rock, and then repair it. The weather was so very hot that i could feel the burning sensation beneath the jeans :(

 
Certain points appear like Niagra, just that they are not from the same height. U can find locals frying fishes on the shore, not hygenic but one can try. We couldnt because of Navratris. Amazing Place 2 see
