Hogenakkal Falls: A Scenic Day Trip from BangaloreOur journey to Hogenakkal Falls began at 9:30 AM from Bangalore. Along the way, we stopped in Hosur for a delicious breakfast of masala dosa, which unknowingly turned into our brunch! If you're planning a trip to Hogenakkal Falls, it’s essential to have lunch beforehand, as food options near the falls are limited to snacks like chips.
The Route:
Hogenakkal Falls is approximately 175 km from Bangalore’s Silk Board Junction. Drive on NH 07 for about 140 km, and just before Dharmapuri, take the service road leading to an underpass. Turn right here, and the falls are another 45 km away.
The Experience:
We arrived at Hogenakkal Falls around 2 PM and hired two coracle boats for our group of nine. The boats took us close to both the Tamil Nadu and Karnataka falls, offering mesmerizing views and an unforgettable experience.
