During my stay in Bangalore Hogenakkal was favorite picnic spot at the border of Tamilnadu/Karnataka state in India. Incidentally the locals call the Hogenakkal Falls as Niagara Falls of India and I agreed with them.
This basket is not only used as a boat but as an umbrella a chair or even as bed for a good sleep.
The other picture is in a Canberra Lake where this unique Go-Go boats is really popular which can accommodate 7 passengers @ top speed of 8km/hr. Even children are allowed to take the helm.
My question is if given a chance would you like to enjoy a basket bat or go for this battery operated boat?

Thank you so much. Yes the places shown here more interesting than the images here.
No it was not but I could not say the baskets were safe as boats in this area.
why would you show us boats and then rapids?
Because the basket boats sail in the stream of the same river about 500 meters ahead. The name of the place and river is Holenakkal. If you Google it you will find many interesting activities.
not interested in rapids
Are you afraid of them?
not afraid per se, but I avoid potentially lethal situations as a matter of principle…
Hello
I think I would like to be in that place and try the two objections hehe
Happy day
You’re most welcome, the choice is all yours 🙂
I have been in boats, I would go in a boat, when I notice it is seaworthy regardless if it is battery powered or manual
I know about your love for water bodies and appreciate your comments, thanks a lot.
All photos are great. But I do not use this kind of transport.
I agree with you but these are fun travel and not for regular travel.
As always, I enjoyed all of your photos! Both look like fun.
Thanks, both are real fun.
It is a beautiful waterfall.
Yes it is and basket ride is even better.
The picture is great, and still I wouldn’t want to be too close! I am just a chicken today.
Nothing to worry, the water is not much here but the flow is fast. It’s common and widely used.
I think basket boat will not be secure instead of electric boat.
It’s absolutely secured so nothing to worry!
Doing both is a great idea I think. The battery boat is more relaxing I guess. It is a beautiful waterfall.
Sure but f you sit in this basket it feels great. The water is not much so there is nothing to worry.
Yes, when you are not paddling being in the basket boat would be very nice and relaxing indeed. And you can lay back. 🙂
A basket boat and a battery operated boat both look fun, but I think I’d prefer to travel in a battery operated one!
I agree, most people who are not used to see such boats would not want to try these boats.
