Hogenakkal Waterfall, Tamil Nadu

Hogenakkal Falls is a waterfall in South India that can be found on the Kaveri river on the border of the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu districts of Chamrajnagar and Dharmapuri. It is 46 kilometers from the district offices in Dharmapuri and 199 kilometers from those in Chamrajnagar. It is also 200 kilometers from Coimbatore, 127 miles from Bangalore, 181 km from Mysore, and 344 km from Chennai. It is a popular tourist destination known for its bathing places, and boat rentals, and nicknamed the "Niagara Falls of India". The carbonatite rocks at this location are regarded as among the oldest in the world and the oldest in South Asia.

Soon after the monsoons, when the river is in full flood, is the ideal time to come. However, some visitors choose to go off-season to avoid the crowds. Hogenakkal allows boating during the dry season because the falls are not powerful enough to obstruct the movement of the boats. The primary source of revenue for boat owners is this. There are also a lot of people swimming and taking baths there.
