Wow! Amazing. I almost missed the kid jumping from the rocks into the water. Snacks and a boat ride. Looks exciting and dangerous. One of these days….
Great place for those who love water, hope one day we will have good facilities for accomodation and food made available by tourisum dept. Despite these challenges one can see major weekend crowd there. Spectacular rocks and water gushing out upon…
Mysore: You are right, This place is quite dangerous when there is more flow of water.
Rajesh: I guess TN govt has some project propossed sometimes back n not sure the progress of it, However goof food & accomadation makes this place much more worth.
Beautiful! I have been there once, almost 16 years ago. It was where the ‘Rukumani’ song from Roja was picturised. Must go one of these days. :) Thanks for the reminder.
I have a plan to visit this place along with my team members. I need one info, Is there any Hotel or lodges are present nearby?
Hi Varun,
There are many Hotels/Lodges in this place but not CLASS one, Its a MASS one.
However a nearby place is Dharmapuri(30 kms) where you get good ones.
