The Smoking Rock
This picturesque waterfall, stretching out along the borders of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu is often compared to the Niagara Falls. The Hogenakkal Fall is located at the beautiful Kaveri River and offers a spectacular view of the cascading waters falling from a height of about 2,300ft with its mighty roar and splash.
Suggested Duration - 1-2 days
Witness the carbonatite rocks that are the oldest kind of rocks in the world. Interestingly the water here is believed to possess medicinal properties. Tourists can also enjoy the Coracle boat ride from one end of the river to the other, or they can simply find a quaint spot to perch upon and revel in the enchanting beauty of these falls.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
