Recently, We went to Hogenakkal to enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and the sylvian surroundings.
It was a Sunday, so naturally there was heavy rush to take bath in the falls which were in full flow.
However, we found the following glaring lacunae in the maintenance and management of the place by the authorities concerned though a good parking facility is provided.
- Garbage like clothes, plastic bags, paper and other wastes including the fish remnants was found lying in many parts of the area and in the water of the river.
- People were found cleaning and washing the fishes for their sale in the hotels.
- no good accommodation or hotel is available for the tourists.
- Only one bathing facility is provided which is inadequate as many people were made to wait for their turn. To add insult to the injury, the tourists are asked to bathe for 5 minutes only. Why don't the authorities provide more bathing space when there are many falls nearby?
- the fare charged for the boat ( Parisal) travel is exorbitant without any basis. Rs.750/- is levied for each boat(Parisal) for 4 persons (maximum).
