After visiting a very old temple at the beginning of the inner road that leads to Gaganachukki falls, we headed straight to the falls. It was nature at its mighty best offering a spectacular show of the Kaveri river. Water was coming down the high rocks with such a great ferocity, we were at awe and were humbled. It was just beautiful. Since it was the peak of the rainy season (south-west monsoon) here, Kaveri was flowing in full capacity - copious amounts of water falling from the top of the high rocks down on to the plains. The sound of nature (of the falling water) was dominating all other sounds and it was pleasant to the ears. I felt so peaceful and calm just being there. We could feel the water droplets in the air.
Here are some photos clicked by my amateurish hands :-)
Then we moved on to Bharachukki falls. It was as spectacular as the Gaganachukki falls if not more. Below are some photos clicked by the amateur photographer (me) :-) at Bharachukki falls
We had some observers, who were keen on keeping an eye on what we visitors were up to in their backyard :-)
At that time, a movie shooting was also going on at Bharachukki, the set and the film crew was deep down on top of the rocks in the middle of the river. It was quite an adventurous shoot, I felt.
Overall, I felt really good - getting close to Nature has this really soothing effect on me that lasts for quite some time.
