Gaganachukki Falls are shaped like a huge horsetail. It is a steep waterfall that rushes down with great velocity and provides incredible views. Gaganachukki waterfalls are best viewed from the watch tower at Shivanasamudra. The waterfall can also be approached by another way that passes through the Dargah of Hazrath Mardane Gaib. It presents the upstream end of the waterfall and is closer to the Barachukki Falls.
The waterfalls are created by river Cauvery that runs down a 75 metre gorge before it divides into two branches that flow around the island of Shivanasamudra. The two branches (eastern & western branches) flow through deep ravines on either side of the island before plunging in two different places a few kilometres apart to form the Barachukki and Gaganachukki waterfalls. The island town of Sivasamudram divides the river into twin waterfalls.
The waterfalls are located at a distance of about 139 km from Bangalore and about 60 km from Mysore. The eastern branch of the waterfall is known as Barachukki while the western branch is known as Gaganachukki. Barachukki and Gaganachukki waterfalls are together known as the Shivanasamudra Falls.
Shivanasamudra literally means Shiva’s Ocean. The area near the waterfalls is famous for being the location of Asia’s first hydro-electric power station that was set up in the year 1902 and is still functional. The project was designed by Diwan Sheshadri Iyer. Shivanasamudra is a small city in the Mandya District of the state of Karnataka, India
