On reaching Hogenakkal, we had local village lunch there. Food was fine, but the fish was too good. You will find fried fish at many places near the falls too. Under any circumstances do not miss the fish here.
To see the falls you need to hire a boat known as coracle. It is a rounded boat made from cane and water sealed by plastic and tar coating. Looking at it didn't feel like it can carry so many people (6 people average).
Our boat & boatman:
As soon as you reach there, many boatmen will ask you about boating at exorbitant rates. The government board mentions Rs. 50; but you will never get one. You need some bargaining to bring the price down. Rs. 200 per head is a good deal enough; if you can bring that even down, you're a great bargainer.
The boating trip alternates between boating and walking many times.
