Bhimeshwari National Park
The
sparkling blue waters of Cauvery wind through rocks and ravines and fall off
the Deccan Plateau to form the twin falls of Barachukki and Gaganachukki.
About 35 kms downstream is yet another set of falls called Mekedatu (Goat's
Leap). Lying between these breathtaking cascades is Bhimeshwari. A perfect picnic
spot. Where nature has created a natural habitat for the Mahseer fish and a
variety of exciting animals.
Bhimeshwari in Manday district is an ideal place not only for the wildlife but
also for people on a holiday spree. The lush forest sheltered by steep valleys
and scattered by little streams, invites large groups of animals and birds.
You can see herds of elephants amongst the thick tree. Deers springing in the
air. Wild boars, monkeys, Jackals, crocodiles, otters and even leopards! And
of course, there are plenty of birds too! Heron, ibis, cormorant, kingfisher
… have all made their home here. Giving you a never-before opportunity
of no-stop viewing.
And what's nore exciting is you have a Fishing Camp! The banks of the River
Cauvery provide enthusiastic anglers a chance to try their luck a t fishing.
And mind you, it's no ordinary fishing. Because the Cauvery abounds with Mahseer
- the finest game fish (weighing 100 lbs) that can fight like a tiger! So don't
forget to take your fishing rods. Because, it may be a catch of your life -
time.
The Fishing Camp here has comfortable tents equipped with all basic facilities
like cots, mosquito nets, shower, toilet and even a kitchen. Food is served
in the 'Gol-Ghar', to open air dining room. As the sun gives way to the moon,
and the bonfire is lit up, the evening casts mysterious shadows. Building up
the excitement for the night. And unfolding another about of surprises. Waiting
to be discovered.
