Located 125 km from Bangalore, Hogenakkal waterfalls is the best weekend getaway on the Tamil Nadu - Karnataka border. It is the spot where River Cauvery enters Tamil Nadu and flows down as natural falls.
The water flowing from the streams to the falls resembles a smoky pattern. Therefore, it is named Hogenakkal in Kannada which means Smoky Rocks. You can enjoy the coracle ride, oil massage, and bathing in the Waterfalls.
