I am Murugan from Hogenakkal. I wish to share something about my home town with you all.
Hogenakkal Waterfalls, the 'Niagara' of India, offers a promising holiday destination for nature lovers.
Hogenakal Falls is a beautiful water falls in the state of Tamilnadu and is a good Picnic spot.Its water is supposed to have curative powers. This beautiful, smoking waterfall is 40 km from Dharmapuri and 180 km from Bangalore towards Salem. Here the Cauvery River enters the plains and the river dashing against the rocks is a great sight.
Hogenakkal is a riverside spa where, according to its devotees, good health can be had for the asking. The sound of the Cauvery, roaring between rocky banks, is a constant presence in most places in Hogenakkal. The river, here flows through a wooded valley, splitting and merging and splitting again around rocks, and little islands with towering trees, and boulder-strewn out crops, which are covered only when the river is in spate with the rains of the monsoon.
People cross the current-rippled waters in circular basket boats covered in buffalo hide or plastic. They are called catamarans or coracles.
Dear Murugan, I enjoyed reading that. I am so glad that you found something that has been so well written that you wanted to share the piece of writing with us all. The picture is sensational. The blue sky and the white waters..amazing sight, isn't it? You know, Hogenakkal means, 'smoking water'...the spray of water from the fall looks like smoke.
