Harekada Small Falls
Sub Place Details: Harekada Small Falls is a charming, low-altitude waterfall that serves as a popular local getaway for those looking for a safe place to play in the water. Unlike the massive and dangerous drops of Gaganachukki, Harekada is characterized by gentle slopes and multiple small streams that flow over flat rocks. This makes it a favorite for families with children, as the water pressure is manageable and the pools are relatively shallow during the non-monsoon months. The falls are located in a serene pocket of the Kaveri valley, surrounded by coconut groves and paddy fields. The approach road is narrow and winds through typical South Indian rural landscapes, offering a peaceful drive. During the rainy season, the falls expand into a wider curtain of water, creating a beautiful sight without the intimidating roar of the larger falls nearby. It is a "locals' secret" that is slowly gaining popularity among weekenders from Bangalore. The area around the falls is perfect for a lazy afternoon of sitting on the rocks with your feet submerged in the flowing river. There is a sense of timelessness here, far removed from the commercial bustle of the main tourist circuit. Small local shops nearby sell fresh coconut water and cucumbers, adding to the refreshing experience. The rocks here have been smoothed over centuries of water flow, creating natural slides and pools. It is an excellent spot for those who want to experience the Kaveri river's touch in a more intimate and safe setting.
