Cauvery Fishing Camp, Bheemeshwari.

An ideal getaway from Bangalore which is 2 hours drive and around ~100 kms. The road is nice.

You could take the road to kanakapura-santhanur-muthathi-cauvery fishing camp. There is a jungle lodge which you need to book in advance and the prices range from Rs 1000- 3000. The ideal place to cool in the water. For going to Shivanasamudra you have to go back to Sathanur and then go which is 25kms from Sathanur.

Angling for mahseer fish is famous here. These fish are so smart that when we got one using a towel, the fish played dead. You need to get your own fishing gear. They are the largest tropical sporting fish. This one is small but they become really big.

Some people call it the Bheemeshwari Fishing Camp because of the temple.

Wildlife is abundant and we got to see some deer towards dusk on their way to cauvery for some water.

You could rent some vessels and buy some firewood if you want to cook something. There are no places to eat except for some small shops where the villagers cook rice and sambar. They would cook some chicken given 30 minutes. Ideal place for some relaxed stuff, quaff beer, barbecue and chill time.
