Hogenakkal Falls Day Trip from Bangalore with Coracle Ride

Escape Bangalore for a day and visit Hogenakkal Falls. Enjoy a coracle ride, explore viewpoints, and visit the Crocodile Rehabilitation Centre.
Begin your journey early in the morning with a comfortable AC vehicle pickup from Bangalore. Enjoy a traditional South Indian breakfast en route as you drive through the countryside and forested areas leading to Hogenakkal.

Upon arrival, embark on a unique coracle ride — a round, basket-like boat steered through the river by skilled local boatmen. The ride takes you close to the falls, through canyons and calm stretches of the river, offering unforgettable views and the thrill of being splashed by nature herself.

After your ride, explore the nearby viewpoints that offer stunning photo opportunities of the falls and surrounding hills. For those seeking a bit more adventure, a short guided eco-trek is available through lush terrain. You can also relax by the river, dip your feet in the water, or explore the local village-style marketplace where fresh river fish fry is a local delicacy.

The trip also includes a visit to the Crocodile Rehabilitation Centre, home to rescued crocodiles and a small herbal garden. After a hearty lunch (self-paid), you’ll have time to unwind before beginning your return journey to Bangalore.
