This beautiful, quiet waterfall is 25 km from Dharmapuri and 180 km from Bangalore towards Salem. Here the Cauvery River enters the plains and the river dashing against the rocks is a great sight.
We need to depend on teppa(boat) to cross the river. When we went there was heavy rain fall and crossing the river by bridge was not possible. SO we need to depend on teppas. You will be in great surprise when boatman asks you 500 bucks for ride ;)
Teppa drive
Somehow we bargained and they agreed for lesser price..Its very difficult to bargain with them since they know that you came from so far and unless you see the falls you wont go back...Some kind of bussiness trick...Many of us doesn't know swimming..when we asked them they assured nothing will happen..but it was scary. This is another big waterfall on the Kaveri river after Shivanasamudra. So we were dropped to one place and there we played and had a nice bath..later we came to see the real water falls,Oh God !!! it was amazing. It was really beautiful and worth seeing in that season. You cant go near to the falls but you can just see and enjoy the beauty. After some time we came back and paid for the boat..
