Bengaluru, a city renowned for its vibrant party scenes, urban attractions, and natural beauty, serves as an accessible destination for travelers from Kerala. Beyond the city’s bustling core, its suburbs unveil captivating landscapes that retain their allure, irrespective of the number of visits. Post-monsoon, these areas transform into lush havens, boasting verdant greenery and abundant foliage, while grand waterfalls cascade with the force of frothing milk from a broken pot.
**Shivanasamudra Waterfalls:**
Nestled on the border of Mandya and Chamarajanagara districts, the Shivanasamudra waterfalls are revered as sacred waters flowing from Lord Shiva’s matted hair. Formed by the merging Gaganachukki and Barachukki Falls, these falls rank as the country’s second-largest. Accessible via a 126 km journey on National Highway No 209 from Bengaluru through Kanakapura, or 70 km from Mysuru, and 205 km from Coimbatore, the site experiences heightened visitor traffic during the monsoon, making July to October the ideal time for exploration.
**Hogenakkal Waterfalls:**
Located in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu, Hogenakkal unveils a mesmerizing spectacle of 36 waterfalls nestled amid the Sathyamangalam forest on the Cauvery River. The journey from Bengaluru spans 170 km. What sets this tourist hotspot apart is the unique opportunity for visitors to approach the foot of the falls in coracles, providing an unforgettable experience amid nature’s grandeur.
