Gaganchukki roars back

Gaganchukki and Bharachukki, the twin world famous waterfalls are roaring back with the heavy rain fall in Cauvery basin of Karnataka. And the tourist spot of rainy season is now flooded with the nature lovers. Ltes take a drive to Shivanasamudra, 120 kms away from Bangalore to catch the glorious moments.

The Gaganchukki and Bharachukki Falls are on the Cauvery River after the river has winded its way through the rocks and ravines and drops off to form waterfalls. The river divides in to twin side-by-side falls around the 700-acre picturesque Shivanasamudra Island. On the one side, it forms the Gaganachukki falls and on the other it rumbles down as the Bharachukki falls. The segmented waterfalls has anaverage width of 849 meters, a height of 90 meters. With the Cauvery basin receiving heavy rains, the twin falls have roared back to the glory. When both falls are compared, Gaganchukki falls from very high height than Bharachukki. While Bharachukki falls is quite wider than Ganganachukki.

Cauvery plummets from the height of 190 ft deafening roar to form picturesque Gaganchukki and it flows like 'amritadhara' ( milk river) forming equally impressive Bharachukki. Splendorous scenery also add great taste to your journey. The waterfalls leave a deep impression on all those who have seen them.

The time of best flow are the monsoon season of July to October. And this time you can also enjoy the romance of clouds with the nature accompanied by the showering rains. Therefore, lakhs of people drive here. The count of tourists was 15 lakh in the last season. It may not be exaggeration to say life is beautiful just because of such nature beauties.
