The Shivanasamudra Falls is on the Kaveri River after the river has wound its way through the rocks and ravines of the Deccan Plateau and drops off to form waterfalls.

If you are bored on a weekend with absolutely no plans, then just pick up your vehicle, or hire one and just drive here. The drive to the falls is really scenic, so you will find a lot of places for photo opportunities. It will take you around 3 hours to reach there, depending on the time of departure. There are a few viewing decks for the falls, both free and paid. You cannot go to the bottom of the falls. But nonetheless, the view is breathtaking - both of the falls and the surrounding areas. WHEN TO GO: Go during the monsoon season or after it, because there is barely any water during other seasons and there will be just a small waterfall (photo attached). WHAT TO TAKE: Food and water are available there, though not a huge variety. Carry your own water bottles (be eco-friendly). You will get pakodas, fruits, coconut water, and biscuits there. Also carry an umbrella or hats, because there are barely any shady areas there (just 3-4 benches under trees). HOW MUCH: At the entry of the falls, you will have to pay for the vehicle. Then at the falls, if you want to go to the lower viewing decks, it is Rs. 5 per person. Visiting the loos is also chargeable. Coconut water is Rs. 30 per piece. The place is relatively clean, with the only garbage being plastic, so please try to carry your own water and food, as much as possible. There are also a lot of monkeys there, so be careful of your belongings. You will find professional photographers there who will click and print your photos on the spot. Not sure of the fees. There is Gaganachukki falls also nearby, but couldn't locate it. There is also a small temple town on the way to the falls. You could also visit Talakadu whilst on the trip to Barachukki Falls.

This is the site of the first hydro-electric power station in Asia, set up in the early 20th century. The Gaganachukki and Barachukki waterfalls are best visited post monsoon, when there’s abundant water.

Post covid-19 lockdown I decided to head Shivanasanudra falls and I don't regret my decision. It was the best one day trip ever ,we started from Bengaluru in morning around 7:30 having breakfast and reached Barachukki falls by 10:30 AM took Nice Road-Kanakapura Road to reach destination. After NICE Road exit stretch was not that good till Harohalli there were lots of dump trucks and overtaking my sedan required a skill. However after Harohalli roads were well laid till destination and cruising at 80-100 KMPH was a cakes walk. We paid Rs 30\- at the Barachukki falls entrance and Rs 5\- per head to take steps down to view falls. As we reached in right season falls were gushing out with waters and it was magnificent the roar of falls will definitely give you goose bumps . There are few stalls for quick bites and a toilet ( though not well maintained still better than spoiling nature ) . After seeing this fall we proceeded to Gaganachukki falls which is just a km away, this place is habituated by a Dargha and you can take a partial view or one sided view of Gaganachukkii falls peeping through wire mesh gates and for actual falls you have to travel 13 kms from here for another view.

KRS dam is one of must visit place when one is in and around Mysuru. One should visit the just after the rainy season ends, Sept to Nov is ideal time, where they open the gates and its great to watch the water gushing out of these gates, and all the credit should go to Sir M Visveshwaraiah. There is garden near by called as Brindavan which is beautiful to watch, and lot of space for parking you vehicle. Garden is filled with lots flora which are mesmersizing, there is musical fountain in the evening which is spectacular to watch. So try to reach place by 15:00 so that one get time to watch the Dam, Garden and musical fountain.

I had visited as a Day trip to Bheemeshwari Wildlife Sanctuary. Visited on a Friday(not on public holiday) with wife and a 3 year old kid. Cost is 2200/- per head. Reached location at 11.00 AM. My Itinerary went like below: 1. Hearty welcome from Jungle Lodge employees and had Lime juice as a welcome drink. 2. Since lodge was not fully occupied, We got a cottage for whole day without any extra changes. 3. Freshen up for 30 min and started adventure activities. 4. Cat walk, Burma loops, Elephant walk, parallel walk and Zip line would be done at one shot. All these activities would take max 1 hr per person. These activities are very exciting and crew members are kind enough to guide every step. Zip line most exciting one. 5. At around 1.30 we went for lunch. Not many variety in food but available food was very tasty and hygiene food. 6. Walked in the river bed for 30 min and use the amenity near river bed for 1 hr. 7. Went back to room and slept for 1 hr. 8. Woke up at 4.30. Fresh up and had high tea at 5. 9. Started with Coral ride. takes around 30 min. Saw a crocodile on the rock. quite a big one. 10. Then started Kayaking ride. lasted in 20 min. 11. Went back to room, on the way saw group of deer, couple of Fox and couple of forest hog. These animals are common inside log premises at evening time 12. Started back to Bangalore Things I liked: 1. Sightseeing of many forest animals 2. Lodge employees are friendly and we can even reach the manager easily for any issues. 3. Food taste and Amenities provided inside lodge premises.
