Experiencing a coracle ride is a must-do when you visit Karnataka’s Hogenakkal. The place is a famous tourist attraction, but a ban was imposed after heavy rainfall lashed parts of Karnataka. Hogenakkal faced an issue after the waters of the Cauvery rivers overflowed due to the heavy rains. The district administration banned the operations of the coracle ride for almost a month.
