Shivanasamudra waterfalls is 139 km from my city, Bangalore. The river Kaveri, after flowing through the rocks and ravines of Deccan Plateau drops off to form twin waterfalls...
The Gaganachukki waterfalls is 98m high...
Bharachukki falls are a few kilometers to the south-west of the Gaganachukki falls...
We went for a coracle ride. The boatman took us right under the waterfall making us completely drenched...
It was fun playing in the water...
There are some monkeys who are happy among themselves...
The time of best flow are the monsoon season of July to October...
A few kilometers away is Talakad, where the eastward flowing Kaveri river changes course as the sand on its banks spreads over a wide area. The coracle ride here was much serene...
The temples have some interesting stone carvings...
More pictures on my Facebook page.
Nice, Lot of water. The monkey with corn pic is very good.
ReplyDeleteWow.. Good that you got a chance to go in coracle.. Nice article.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the coracle ride was fun, although a bit wobbly.
DeleteThe monkey looks like he's afraid you'll go for his ear of corn!!!

such beautiful waterfalls. Did you bring the corn for the monkey or did he steal it?
ReplyDeleteThe monkeys over there were not invasive. Probably some visitor offered him that corn.

ReplyDeleteI went through every delightful photo on your Shiju's Photography site & enjoyed seeing these as well. How did you protect your camera during that boat ride? I guess one must carry a waterproof bag on such adventures!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic place!
ReplyDeleteNice pics. I went there couple of years ago and felt the tourist facilities were really bad at Shivanasamudram.. dont know if it has improved now.
ReplyDeleteIdeal place for nature lovers, good for bird photography and there is an eco-friendly resort ChukkiMane (www.chukkimane.com) providing excellent vegetarian food. Best for On day visit and night stay. Best for families. I had spent a worth day last month.
