Tamil Nadu Tourism

Situated on the Karnataka - Tamil Nadu border, Hogenakal is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the state. The broad stream of the River Cauvery gets forked at this point, forming an island from where one stream continues on while it plunges into a deep chasm to create one of the loveliest waterfall gives these rocks the name Hogenakal which means "smoking rock" in Kannada. Since the waters of the kauvery flow through a forest of herbs on their journey to Hogenakal, bathing in these falls is considered to be good for health.

The Picturesque Holiday spot located on the Kaveri river is an unexploited tourist wonder. Hogenakal means 'Smoking Rock', a name derived from the cloud of mist and spray, that envelopes the chasm.

A sacred bathing place, Hogenakal is famed for the curative power of its waters.

Surrounded by mountains, this place now offers a quiet holiday in comfort. It is connected by road to Dharmapuri, Selam and Bangalore from where bus service is available to other parts of Tamilnadu.
