Hogenakkal Falls & Yercaud Hills Escape
A short break built around water and altitude. At Hogenakkal the Kaveri drops through a gorge of carbonatite rock, and the only way onto the water is a coracle — a round bamboo boat still made by hand in the villages above the falls. Then up into the Shevaroy Hills behind Salem for Yercaud: coffee and orange plantations, a hill lake, and the Lady’s Seat viewpoint over the plains.
