|  Situated
on the Karnataka - Tamil Nadu border, Hogenakal is undoubtedly one of the most
beautiful places in the state. The broad stream of the River Cauvery gets forked
at this point, forming an island from where one stream continues on while it plunges
into a deep chasm to create one of the loveliest waterfall gives these rocks the
name Hogenakal which means "smoking rock" in Kannada. Since the waters of the
kauvery flow through a forest of herbs on their journey to Hogenakal, bathing
in these falls is considered to be good for health.
The magnificent,
rugged mountain scenery around the falls can be better enjoyed by long walks and
treks.
