| June | 3/5 | June at Hogenakkal: 24–33°C, Kaveri rising with early flows. Coracle rides run but suspended on high-water days — shoulder, oil-massage trail fine. |
| July | 4/5 | July at Hogenakkal: 24-30°C, Kaveri swells and coracle rides run through thundering falls. Solid window — core monsoon flow, spray heavy, check ferry advisories. |
| August | 4/5 | August at Hogenakkal: 24-30°C, sustained monsoon keeps the falls at full volume and coracles running. Works well — 2,000-year oil-massage tradition stays active. |

| October | 5/5 | October at Hogenakkal: 22-32°C, post-monsoon Cauvery at full volume — coracle rides through the falls run all day and the riverside oil-massage tradition is at its busiest. |
| November | 5/5 | November at Hogenakkal: 22–32°C, Kaveri still running strong after the monsoon. Coracle rides through the falls at their most scenic. |
