to see this beauty of "The Niagra of India" .
I am here at......
HOGENEKKAL, the famous waterfall in Tamilnadu ,
sorry...
I can't say it is in Tamil nadu... karnataka's claim is that it belongs to them..Hogennakal stands in the border of Tamilnadu and Karnataka...
Mr.Jagannathan nair, my Under Secretary and me here on 2nd april 2010..
way back to trivandrum ...after some official purpose at BENGALOORU...
here to enjoy the exciting cute basket boat trip in Kavery..
The best time here is just after the monsoon , when the water falls are in its full strength.
It was very hot now... may be around 12 in the noon..
language is always a problem...
already had some bad experiences at north east, and also in dilli..
WE, now ready to bargain with the corackal boatmen.
some one said that charge per head is Rs.50/-.. boatmen says we can accomodate upto 8 people..but he should get Rs.400/-
whether we are 2 or 6.. we should pay rs.400/-
but the ride is worth the money…
boatman took us for a 1 hour trip.
first,, just a 2 minute journey in the middle of trees..
then there is a boarding place..
boatmen wil carry the boat through the road ,, about 100 metres..
wil wait for us..
If U R ready U can have, body massage ....
...in between that ride ... local people will fry fresh fish and you can have it there.
after the Thekkady Mishap.. first time in a kuttavanchi..not even the usual boat ....but a small kuttavanchi..
boat men said , though it is summer now, water level may b 30-50 fts..
My heart was pounding hard.... thought abt, my mol n her mamma..
he said...
they are trained people.
they have to row the boats through harsh river currents and save 3, (3 or 5 am not sure) drowning people alone from the river to acquire their licence as boat men...!
any way WE R now back in the shore safely...
