Hogenakkal Falls

The "Niagara of India" — a dramatic stretch of cascades on the Kaveri river, best after the southwest monsoon.

Hogenakkal Falls is currently active but with reduced water flow. Recent rainfall totals about 52 mm over the past month, leading to thinner cascades than usual. If you visit this week, expect quieter scenes but less dramatic water than monsoon season.
