Harangi Dam, Coorg

Fact: A dam built across the tributary of Cauvery with a length of 2775 ft. and 174 ft height. If you happen to visit during rainy season this makes an awesome place, at that time they open the dam doors giving a mind blowing view of water flowing out. It flows at such a high power that you will be thrilled to see it. The back water creates an impression of ocean; it is spread across acres of land.

The place can be reached easily, if you are coming from b’lore to Madikeri via Kushalnagar, you can find a Y junction, where one leads to Kushalnagar and then Madikeri and the other to the Harangi Dam. From Madikeri you need to travel in the direction of Kushalnagar to reach here. It’s about 8 kms from Kushalnagar

Dear Prashy,

I have come across your blog while accessing info on Harangi Dam. Do you know the names of the tributaries of Harangi River?
Regards

@xx,
The principal tributaries of Cauvery in Karnataka are the Harangi, the Hemavathy, the Lakshmanathirtha, the Kabini, the Shimsha, the Arkavathi and the Suvarnavathy. and there are no sub tributaries for Harangi River. Harangi river originates at Pushpagiri Hills of Western ghats and flows about 50 km before joining Cauvery river to become one of its tributary.
