Hot spots:

Kodiveri

The entrance to the anicut at Kodiveri is a study in stunning contrast. On one side of the bridge,
water flows without as much as a ripple. The other side, it gushes with bottled fury. Walk a little
further to reach a vast expanse of water, and see it force itself through a layered surface hewn out
of a rock face, taking on the shape of two frothy mini waterfalls (thanks to the 4.6 metre drop down stream). Waiting bathers shout with joy under the spray. Onlookers cannot help get wet too, the misty spray enveloping you in chillness.
