Scenic Beauty Of Cauvery
At hogenakkal the broad stream of the river Cauvery gets forked at this point, forming an island from where one stream continues and plunges into a deep chasm to create lovely waterfalls. As the spray of this waterfall raises clouds of droplets resembling smoke this place is known as hogenakkal. In early days the river Cauvery flowed in a particular narrow gorge so narrow that could be easily leaped by a goat and hence the name of that place is "Adu Dhantu" (Goat's leap). The waters of Cauvery flows through a herbal forest before it reaches hogenakkal, bathing in the falls here is considered to cure many diseases. A large number of tourists visit this place to have bath in the river. A bath after a oil massage is very refreshing. The magnificent rugged mountain scenery around the falls can be better enjoyed by long walks and treks.
