Hogenakal – unknown wonder to many

After some serious plans me and abhi went to hogenakal last month.

We started early morning at 6:15 from Hosur. The shorter route we took was Hosur-Denkanikotai-Natrampalayam-Hogenakal. The total distance was some 85 kms. The road was quite good in most distance and very bad for the last 10-15 kms.. But overall itz okie considering not much traffic in that road and very short comparing the krishnagiri route.

The road was quite scenic for half the distance atleast. It was too good as it is early morning. We reached there around 8:30 in the morning. After having our breakfast, we took the boating. The package was Rs.500 for 3 hrs into the water. We started at around 9ish. There was quite some gun in the ride. One thing amazes me was the kids who dive into the 30-40 feet of water for meagre 5 rupees. Bravo.. Hats off kids

They say itz better to visit hogenakal in the tamil month of Aadi(mid July – Mid Aug). During this season the water level will rise 20-30 feet more, there would be lotta water streams and many exotic locations around. We are planning again with in this month

We took oil massage for extra 100 bucks from the same boatmen. Though i can’t say it as massage. Then there is fresh fish available. Itz not so hygenic but it didn’t spoil my stomach but its quite tasty and spicy. Finally we took bath in the sitraruvi (small falls) in which we had better massage. Itz damn cool. we were inside it for more than an hour.

This is the biggest falls in Hogenakal

Finally we were out by around 12.00. Then we had our lunch. The hotels near by were pretty if not superb.. We started from there around 2:00 and reached hosur in another 2 hrs..

It was one day full of fun and new experience. Will try again
