nothing lonely about the planet
Bheemeswari
(Karnataka)
Discauvery Weekend
The turnoff from NH209 onto the village road at Halagur, just a short way out of Bangalore, transports you to meandering roads down green mountainsides. The only traffic stops will be the rare herd of spotted deer sailing across the road. This is only a taste of what awaits you at the camps in Bheemeshwari.
A barefoot walk along the river's edge, sipping hot coffee on the verandah of your cabin overlooking the river, being woken up by monkeys jumping on your tent, are the promise here. Nature treks into the wilderness, coracle rides, kayaking, outdoor camping, amateur fishing and professional angling are the icing on the cake.
While you may catch glimpses of rare species of birds, wild elephants and sloth bears, you are sure to see the famous mahseer no matter which season you go. Sightings of the mahseer will be all around you in the form of souvenir photographs and proud accounts by the friendly staff.
