Shivanasamudra Falls


Gaganchukki & Bharachukki Waterfall

Very attractive waterfall, around 90 km away from Mysore. It is situated on the banks of the river Kaveri and is the location of the first Hydro-electric Power station in Asia, which was set up in the year 1902.



With these rafts we can reach very near to falls.

The island town of Shivanasamudra divides the river into twin waterfalls. This creates the fourth largest island in the rivers course.








This is a segmented waterfall. Segmented waterfalls occur where the water flow is broken into two or more channels before dropping over a cliff, resulting in multiple side by side waterfalls. It has an average width of 849 meters, a height of 90 m.







The time of best flow are the monsoon season of July to October.
