Often called the 'Niagara of India,' Hogenakkal Falls is where the Kaveri River cascades through a series of rocky gorges and pools along the Tamil Nadu–Karnataka border.

Visitors can explore the natural rock formations and enjoy traditional oil massages at designated bathing spots near the falls.

Mettur Dam
A large dam on the Kaveri, completed in 1934.
