Weekend trip: Hogenakkal

It’s a famous place. As soon as you land there, the cor­a­cle guy informs us about it’s claim to fame — it was fea­tured in the movie Roja.

I shall have to go back and watch Roja some­time, I make a note.

The Hogenakkal falls itself is quite spec­tac­u­lar, with water gush­ing out through sev­eral chan­nels and falling down a height of 5–20 metres at dif­fer­ent places. Since it’s the height of the mon­soons when we vis­ited, the river is at its full­some best, gush­ing out with aban­don and fervour.

  3. You most cer­tainly should watch the movie (or at least the song). If there was a movie that cel­e­brates the nat­ural beauty in the Indian out­doors, it was this movie.

    Great pic, btw…

  5. I was at Hogenekkal in April, though no water as u see in the pic at that time, a won­der­ful expe­ri­ence. Great place to go atleast once in a year. Songs in the movies, ‘Asoka’ ‘Guru’ too was pic­turised here.
