Bheemeshwari Shivanasamudra talakad on a weekend

Quite some time back I was on a trip to places near banglore on a weekend.I had gone cruising through these places in an cab with kamesh, Japa, Venkat.

Out of all the spots I have done some adventures as in White water rafting. It was awesome man, It was strating from Bheemeswari running down till a remote place 2km away from Muttathi. It was a rollercoster ride of about 9km for about 2.5 hours. We seriously had gr8 fun after long weekends in the Office for these specific reasons,

1. The boat was a small one which fits only four of us and a Captain(Guide). (Rest all others were having 8 + 1)

2. Mukhesh, the Captain-guide was very supportive we did full hangama in the river

Thirdly the best part was when we had encounter with a real croc ( supposedly an alligator) sitting still as a rock there quiet  and we crept in near her/he (not sure) as detectives closing in their thieves and actually took in on our tapes. All of a sudden it jumped into the water and we were really scared of even looking at the water we were rafting in. check out video

But Mukhesh (Captain – Guide) assured us that it will be as scared as we are, and we continued to raft like hell in the gushing waters of Riv.Cauvery. At one point there was Onam going on early in that river, we were competing with our small boat with the others in our group. We were allowed to float in the water for a while when the water got calmed down and you guys can have glimpse of it in the video below.

Then we went to sivanasamudram it was toooooo good water fall and at that time too much of water also was gallopping through, infact the waterfall is split into two….. you can see in the video man, I cannot tell u in words but the feeling itself was amazing and later we continued our jounrney to the sandy ranches of Riv.Cauvery again at Talakad. There is a temple there which is half immersed in sand and we could not see it as it was getting very late and there was heavy rain we just saw the beatuful Riv. Cauvery  and Round boats in which people were having their rides.

The road from Talakad to NH209 was completly screwed up. And I would like to add an very interesting yet controversial point here. When we were passing through lakes of the country side we saw the beautiful sky filled up with stars and suddenly we saw a falling star.

We had a very great weekend & I was filled with so much of  joy for seeing so much of Greenary and beautiful River Banks of different kinds, unlike the concrete jungle that I was there for almost an year……..
