Shivanasamudra One-Day Trip:
This Trip from Bangalore will take you to two lovely waterfalls on the Cauvery River at Shivanasamudra. At Shivanasamudra Falls, the Cauvery River splits into two and jumps over rocks to create two spectacular falls. This day trip will also allow you to spend some time by the riverside, on a sandy beach at Talakadu! The Kaveri River has long been the lifeline of South Karnataka. It divides the two districts of Chamarajanagar and Mandya as it meanders through the uneven terrain of the Deccan Plateau. Two groups of waterfalls were formed a few kilometres apart from each other. As a result, the streams created the island of Shivanasamudra in between. The first group of falls is called Gaganachukki. The second group to the south-west is called Barachukki Falls. However, many visitors often mistakenly assume that both waterfalls are the two sides of the larger Bara Chukki Falls. Shivanasamudra Falls is a cluster of waterfalls on the borders of Malavalli, Mandya and Kollegala, Chamarajanagara, in Karnataka, India.
Expect a refreshing one-day trip to Shivanasamudra with stunning Gaganachukki and Bharachukki waterfalls, misty in September’s post-monsoon peak. Enjoy coracle rides, the historic Ranganathaswamy Temple, and local fish fry, but avoid swimming due to strong currents. Start early from Bangalore (135 km)
