Hoganekal Falls

Last weekend we decided to go on a drive towards the Mettur dam. When we were driving back from Coimbatore to Bangalore, Sree had taken this route. I was sleeping in the car all through, Arun was giving him company on the drive. So, Sree recommended that we go on a drive in that route, since I had missed it.

Aditi, Didi, jeeju and even mom accompanied. And we planned to go to Hoganekal falls. The drive was, of course very pleasant and beautiful. We stopped for lunch at Hosur and then for tea in Palacode.

We had started late, almost at 12 in the noon and with no plans to hit any destinations, we had taken relaxing four hours drive. By the time we reached Hoganekal falls, it was close to 5. We seemed to be the last of the lot to be entering into the water while everyone were walking out.

The Coracle ride was very good. And it was a pleasant weather and time (after 4) to go on a coracle ride. The guy explained that there will be lot of falls formed once it rains. He took us close to one of the falls and circled the coracle under. The water splash wet all of us :) Aditi was excited about it.
There is also a beach formed with the river water on two sides with a pience of land in between. It was a beautiful view. An interesting business model seen was the snacks and drinks sold on coracles :)

We could see people getting massages on the rocky banks of the river. The short trip to the falls was very pleasant. Jeeju drove most of the time and seemed to enjoy. We stopped at Palacode for omelets and egg poach. We couldn't stop ordering for more.
