TRIP TO HOGENAKKAL FALLS FROM PP

Hogenakkal falls is located in Tamil Nadu on the banks of Cauvery river . It is located in the Dharmapuri district, about 45 Kms from the town of Dharmapuri and about 180 Kms from Banglore City.

I woke up at 6 in the morning today, did some jhat phat packing, bath etc etc and went to PP. We had hired a mini bus for 21 people and had planned to leave by 6:45 -7:00. But as it always happens, we started late at around 7:30 picked up colleagues on the way , and by the time we started with our full strength from silk board it was around 8:30PM( We were at least an hour late) . Our planned path was Banglore-Hosur- Krishnapuri(Breakfast)-Dharmapuri-Hogenakal(Lunch Parcel). We played lots of games en route  mauj masti was obviously there. All the things except time, went as per plans. By the time we reached the falls it was 1.30( 2 hours late than planned!). Changing clothes was our obvious concern, people generally book lodges there nearby, keep their belongings , change their clothes and then go towards the waterfalls, but since we had the mini bus we managed things there.

We went to the water falls and came near the boating spot(It is sort of a must do , without which we cant enjoy or rather go inside the tittus as well). The local coracles operate the round shaped boat( teppa). They actually ask huge amounts, bargaining is advised and appreciable. At last we settled for around 200 per head. It was good fun and  lots of play for 3.5 hours so and then came out at 6:00 Since we had'nt had lunch we were starving for food, the food which we had parceled from Drarmapuri tasted awesome( Dont know  if it was due to the hunger).  We then started our journey back to Bangalore at 7:00PM and here at 11.00PM.
The trip was on behalf of Tej. Thank you Tej and PP friends for the wonderful time. 

Thus my first travel blog ends. Hoping for many more.
