Trip to Bheemeshwari

Went for whitewater rafting. As usual the trip was unplanned. This time I decided to rely on a professional agency - CareAdventure - for the transportations, food etc. All I had to do was pay CareAdventure an amount of Rs 1100/- ; go to the Majestic Railway Station and board a mini-bus that was waiting to take us to the Bheemeshwari fishing camp site. Whitewater rafting is conducted by Karnataka Tourism Department’s JungleLodges.

We started at 8:00 am on a Saturday. The route to the site was taken care by CareAdventure. The reason why I’m penning down the route details is because it might be helpful to folks who plan to use the service of their own pvt. vehicles.

The route that you need to take is Bangalore -> Kanakapura -> Sathnur -> Muttathi -> Bheemeshwari. There is another longer route: Bangalore -> Kanakapura -> Sangam -> Bheemeshwari. Sangam is another tourist spot on the banks of River Cauvery. Sangam is famous for Mekedatu. On the way to Mekedatu/Sangam you can also drop in at Chunchi waterfalls. The Bangalore -> Kanakapura -> Sangam -> Bheemeshwari route is a lengthy one. I doubt if one can cover all these places in a day, esp. on a bike.
