Barachukki and Gaganachukki Falls

The Shivanasamudra Falls is on the Kaveri River after the river has wound its way through the rocks and ravines of the Deccan Plateau and drops off to form waterfalls.

Reviewed By AxnAkshan - Bengaluru, India

If you are bored on a weekend with absolutely no plans, then just pick up your vehicle, or hire one and just drive here. The drive to the falls is really scenic, so you will find a lot of places for photo opportunities. It will take you around 3 hours to reach there, depending on the time of departure. There are a few viewing decks for the falls, both free and paid. You cannot go to the bottom of the falls. But nonetheless, the view is breathtaking - both of the falls and the surrounding areas. WHEN TO GO: Go during the monsoon season or after it, because there is barely any water during other seasons and there will be just a small waterfall (photo attached). WHAT TO TAKE: Food and water are available there, though not a huge variety. Carry your own water bottles (be eco-friendly). You will get pakodas, fruits, coconut water, and biscuits there. Also carry an umbrella or hats, because there are barely any shady areas there (just 3-4 benches under trees). HOW MUCH: At the entry of the falls, you will have to pay for the vehicle. Then at the falls, if you want to go to the lower viewing decks, it is Rs. 5 per person. Visiting the loos is also chargeable. Coconut water is Rs. 30 per piece. The place is relatively clean, with the only garbage being plastic, so please try to carry your own water and food, as much as possible. There are also a lot of monkeys there, so be careful of your belongings. You will find professional photographers there who will click and print your photos on the spot. Not sure of the fees. There is Gaganachukki falls also nearby, but couldn't locate it. There is also a small temple town on the way to the falls. You could also visit Talakadu whilst on the trip to Barachukki Falls.

Shivasamudram Falls

This is the site of the first hydro-electric power station in Asia, set up in the early 20th century. The Gaganachukki and Barachukki waterfalls are best visited post monsoon, when there’s abundant water.

Reviewed By avinash6262 - Bengaluru, India

Post covid-19 lockdown I decided to head Shivanasanudra falls and I don't regret my decision. It was the best one day trip ever ,we started from Bengaluru in morning around 7:30 having breakfast and reached Barachukki falls by 10:30 AM took Nice Road-Kanakapura Road to reach destination. After NICE Road exit stretch was not that good till Harohalli there were lots of dump trucks and overtaking my sedan required a skill. However after Harohalli roads were well laid till destination and cruising at 80-100 KMPH was a cakes walk. We paid Rs 30\- at the Barachukki falls entrance and Rs 5\- per head to take steps down to view falls. As we reached in right season falls were gushing out with waters and it was magnificent the roar of falls will definitely give you goose bumps . There are few stalls for quick bites and a toilet ( though not well maintained still better than spoiling nature ) . After seeing this fall we proceeded to Gaganachukki falls which is just a km away, this place is habituated by a Dargha and you can take a partial view or one sided view of Gaganachukkii falls peeping through wire mesh gates and for actual falls you have to travel 13 kms from here for another view.
