Hogenakkal Falls

The Kaveri River descends through steep terrain and plunges from a height to form the magnificent Hogenakkal Falls. ‘Hogenakkal’ translates to ‘smoky rocks’, a name attained because of the power of the river crashing against the rugged terrain below, creating the appearance of smoke emanating from the rocks.

A stunning cascade of water breaking against the rocky terrain, shrouded in mist, and surrounded by lush greenery, offers travellers a tranquil and enchanting experience in the beauty of nature. The view from the hanging bridge atop the falls is a sight to behold.

While there are several vantage points offering stunning views of the different parts of the waterfall, the most immersive way to experience it is by taking a ride in the traditional round boats called coracles, known as “parisal” locally. These indigenous boats transport tourists through a complex network of rivers and streams that lead to the edge of numerous minor falls, unravelling fantastic views. All services, however, remain suspended during the monsoon.
