Discover
nature's handiwork in the form of this tiny island-town
65km east of Mysore. Forested hills and lush green
valleys cradle a small hamlet and two fine temples.
Together, they provide a startlingly calm setting
for the Cauvery river as it plummets from a height
of 75m into a deep, rocky gorge with a deafening roar
to form two picturesque falls, Barachukki and Gaganachukki.
When the Cauvery is in spate, watching the river crash
into a cloud of foaming spray can be an exhilarating
experience. Downstream from the falls is Asia's first
hydroelectric project, established at the behest of
Sir M. Visvesvaraya in 1902.
