Hogenakkal - Some info for travellers

Sandy28 · 13th March 2019, 17:33

Hogenekkal has been long on our wish list but have been keeping it off precisely due to these reasons - rowdy and indecent behaviors, eve teasing, drunken misbehavior, nuisance of vendors and the mad crowd. As it is there is only a small window during the monsoon or immediately after it to go.

Well, I beg to differ here. Hogenakkal waterfall still holds its own charm given you know how to handle locals in a polite way. All you need is a bit of background knowledge to save yourself from being ripped off. I visited Hogenakkal recently (13 Apr 2019) with family and here is the detailed vlog of the same. Have a look and judge it yourself

That sounds good, after looking at your snaps, I feel should wait for the monsoon to paint it green.

Is this worth visiting now? August, 1st / 2nd week? Will there be water?

Think the falls is closed as the water is flowing almost over the hanging bridge. So no way they'll have coracle rides now. I wanted to go via Anchetty but those village roads are inundated as well. Guess we'll have to wait for a couple of weeks.

Anyone has update on the road condition or if the falls are open? Was planning for a drive tomorrow. Short notice though. Was thinking taking the anchety road if its open.
