Hogenakkal is a fantastic place in tamilnadu.
Actually it is situated at the border between to states, karnataka and tanilnadu, river kaveri is the devider.
Surrounded by five falls, river , rocks, and ofcourse flora and founa
i stayed there for 3 days, it was an excellent journey, I stayed at ttdc hotel, because of the awesome location, it is located just opposite of river kaveri, Rooms are big in size bathrooms are also big in size and neat an clean, open balcony,
Peaceful place, nature's greenery and only sound of river's music and bird's singing concert,
There I enjoyed the caracol ride, it was very thrilling and exciting also, after caracol ride I spent time with kaveri rever, enjoyed a lot.
