Visual Treat: Hogenakkal Falls is a treat to the eye post monsoon season due to maximum water levels. Multiple viewing decks are available to enjoy amazing views and gust of water through the rocks.
Coracle Ride: Post monsoon season it is possible to enjoy a coracle ride on the river in between two giant rocks with waterfalls on both sides. The Kaveri River is considered to form at Talakaveri in the Brahmagiri hills in Kodagu district in Karnataka and gathers momentum as the land drops in elevation.
It becomes larger as various tributaries feed into it on the way down. At Hogenakkal, the Kaveri, now a large river, drops and creates numerous waterfalls as the water cuts through the rocky terrain. In places the water falls as much as 20 m and is said to sound like continual thunder. Soon after the falls the river takes a Southerly course and enters the Mettur reservoir. The river carries sediment which makes the "down-river" land fertile. At Hogenakkal the river spreads out over a wide area of sandy beaches, then flows through a straight but narrow ravine near Salem where the Mettur Dam creates a 60 sq mi.
Built in , this project improved irrigation and provided hydropower. The objective of this project is to provide safe drinking water to the urban and rural areas in Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts.
