Hogenakal Falls (Kannada:%u0CB9%u0CCA%u0C97%u0CC6%u0CA8%u0C95%u0CB2%u0CCD), (Tamil:%u0B92%u0B95%u0BCD%u0B95%u0BC7%u0BA9%u0B95%u0BCD%u0B95%u0BB2%u0BCD), bordering Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka state and Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu state, is one of the beautiful waterfalls in southern India on the Kaveri River. It is located 46 km from Dharmapuri and 150 km from Bangalore[1]. The name Hogenakal is derived from Kannada. When the water falls on the rocks it appears as if smoke is emanating from the rocks because of the force of the water. Hoge in Kannada means smoke and Kal means rock thus giving the name Hogenakal aptly to the place.[1]
