It was at a place called Tang, around 20KM from Athlone. One day before we went there to check the place and booked two boats. Next day… Read More Fishing at Tang

A famous waterfall in south India, 170Km away from Bangalore. Main attraction at Hogenakkal is the ride on the coracles, round small boats, over Kaveri river.
