These are the two falls formed by Cauvery River near Sivanasamudram. Cauvery river splits itself and makes these two Amazing waterfalls. The best time to visit this place is in the Monsoon, or just after the monsoon till October, I visited this place is in the 3rd week of August, it was wonderful at that time. We can either take Kanakapura road or Mysore road to reach this place, I preferred mysore road, as I heard that Kanakapura road condition is not good. We need to take a diversion near Maddur, and then proceed towards Malavalli. Shivanasamudram is about 20kms from there.
Gaganachukki falls has an amazing view, we reached early in the morning, when we reached there were no tourists at that time. It was all only us, tourism department had built a nice view point from there you can enjoy the water falling from, it is a falls which is spread over a width. It’s difficult capture the beauty completely in camera at one shot. We can't walk down to the place where waterfalls, all we can do is enjoy your time watching the falls and taking some nice snaps, that’s what we did. They had put up some boards mentioning the names of the people who dies in last few years, most of them being software engineers from Bangalore, so I did not dare to do any adventure there. There aren’t any good restaurants in the nearby vicinity, so better pack all your breakfast from home, we did pack from home, and had it there.
Barachukki falls is a few kms from there, just go back in the route you came here, you will get a junction and there you can see the board, you will find the way to Barachukki falls. I bet, you will enjoy more here than in the twin falls, as here you can go to the bottom of the falls, by stairs and even hire a “Teppa” (round shaped floating boat) for a reasonable price and have a wonderful ride in the water till the place water falls down. You can enjoy the water splashing on you from the falls. It will be very good experience, if you happen to go there don't miss this boat ride. Talakadu is few kms from here, may be you can visit Talakadu once you are done with Barachukki falls. But the road condition is very very bad and if you don't enjoy visiting temples and taking a bath in the river, forget about this place.
