Tourist places in Hogenakkal :

Basket Boat Ride: If you want to take a relaxing boat ride on the river, look no further. These bamboo boats, also called “Coracles” are one of the oldest and safest ways of taking a boat ride. For an additional cost these boats can also be hired for a round trip.

Fish and Fry: One of the coolest parts of Hogenakkal is that you can catch fish fresh from the river, bring it to a restaurant, and have it cooked for you. There are many stands along the shore where this is possible. Let them cook it using their own recipe, or bring the ingredients yourself and prepare it to your liking.
