CAUVERY FISHING CAMP (JUNGLE LODGES)
Code No- AT-KT07

Meandering through the woody landscape of the forests of Karnataka is the Cauvery, a large and majestic river of South India. Perched on the banks of this river are the Cauvery Fishing and Nature Camps, now known as home to the great Mahseer -- the most challenging and the largest tropical sporting river fish known to man.

Tucked away from Bangalore city, yet close enough for you to reach it in two hours, these camps offer a slice of nature that is unique, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful - one in which you can totally feel free! It is also an ideal wilderness retreat for the (non-fishing) nature lovers and knowledge workers.

Bheemeshwari : Bheemeshwari, the favorite getaway for day trippers is 100 kms from Bangalore. This place is a sanctuary to enjoy the calm environs with a dash of luxury. The original "Mahseer Camp" has grown into an adventure sport too.

Galibore : Galibore is 95 km from Bangalore, 16 km away from Bheemeshwari. It is set amidst a wilderness of gigantic Terminalia arjuna trees, with the river flowing in front, and the hills on either side of the river. Wild elephants often come to the banks of the river to drink. There is a great barbecue corner around which you can have beer while the meat gets grilled.

Doddamakali : Doddamakali is situated 6 km upriver of Bheemeshwari. This is the remotest and the most rugged and primitively beautiful place imaginable. This is where you will learn the meaning of the word "isolation".
Here the Cauvery stills and collects into a large pool which is ideal for water sports. Six tents are located here. Doddamakali is a great place if you are ready to rough it out. Our staff, of course, will always be with you. This is our base for corporate team building exercises, conducted through OZONE, the leading outdoorsmen of South India. There are two ways of reaching this place - a direct road route, the final part of which is very steep and needs a four wheel drive jeep to negotiate the last few kilometers. Alternatively, you can park at Bheemeshwari and trek 6 km to Doddamakali.

ACCOMMODATION

If you're looking for luxury, settle on Bheemeshwari. There are 8 luxurious ethnic log-huts on stilts, four of which are air-conditioned, blending beautifully with the surrounding trees. There are also 9 well-furnished tent cottages for those who prefer a more rustic existence.

Galibore is the haven for seekers of isolation. There are 10 beautiful tent cottages, all with attached baths, very clean, illuminated at night with hurricane lamps. There is no electricity here. We have created a beautiful, but rustic atmosphere here, which blends with the environs.

Doddamakali is another place for isolation and rugged living. There are six tents here. Doddamakali is the best place if you are prepared to rough it out.

ACTIVITIES

Cauvery beckons as soon as you check in. A quick walk to the riverbank is simply irresistible. Dip your feet in the pristine waters and you can actually feel the travails of city life fading away. With the assistance of our courteous and knowledgeable staff, you can trek through thick forest and scale a series of hilltops.

If you are not too eager on a long trek, do some short nature walks instead. The most important activity at the Cauvery Fishing camp is the "Catch & Release" method of Masheer Fishing or Angling. Even if you are not an expert, you could try your hand at fishing guided by our expert staff.

 Float down the meandering river on a coracle, indulge in some fishing for fun, observe 95 species of birds, including rare ones like the grey headed fishing eagle, spotbilled duck, small pied kingfisher and the black-bellied river tern. You can also spot crocodiles, turtles and otters in the water and on land watch as elephant, deer, wild boar and grizzly giant squirrel wander past.

There's also mountain biking, kayaking and rafting on the river Cauvery for those who like adventure. If lazing around is your idea of a holiday, then you could relax in a hammock and read your favorite book, or have a snooze.
