Hogenakkal Falls is famous as the ‘Niagara Falls of India’. It is located at a distance of 180 km from Bengaluru in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu. The name Hogenakkal is derived from two Kannada words, hoge (smoke) and kal (rock), which collectively mean smoke rock as the water appears like a white smoke flowing down the rock. The waterfall is located on the Kaveri River. Swimming is allowed in the lower region of the fall. The other attractions here are a zoo and a crocodile park maintained by the forest department. Visitors can also opt for coracle riding during the dry season.
