situated in the Dharmapuri district of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, on the river Kaveri. Most people can experience the scenic boat rides (the little round boats) near the waterfall. Boating is allowed only during the dry time of year during the time the waterfalls are not powerful enough to disturb them.

4)Jog Falls,Karnataka
 created by the Sharavathi River dropping 253 m (830 ft), making it the second-highest plunge waterfall in India after the Nohkalikai Falls with a drop of 335 m (1100 ft) in Meghalaya
Surrounded by lush green forests and misty deep valleys, Jog is a tourists' delight. It was declared to be one of the top ten UNESCO ecological hot spots in the world. The best time to visit? Undoubtedly right after the monsoons – July to October, when the falls are at its majestic best
