Bheemeshwari

The Bheemeswary trip was the first trip with my lunch team in office. The trip turned out to be a memorable one so much so that we often talk about the next possible trip. It was a one day trip to Cauvery Fishing camp in Bheemeswary run by Jungle Lodges and Resorts.

Since it was a rainy season, the places around Bheemeswary was full of mist and this brought out a magical feeling and view about the whole place. I can assume that this would be a normal place in the summer time, but the mist and cloudy environment made our day.

Route: Bangalore-Kanakapura-Sathanur-Muthathi-Bheemeshwari.

Around 100Km from Bangalore

Team: Srinivas, Parthee, Arijeet, Sudaya, Shemy and Shahul

Place to stay/rest: Cauvery Fishing Camp by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, Govt of Karnataka.

The Team

We started early and reached Bheemeswary around 10 a.m. After a talk with Fishing camp authorities, we settled for a guided trek to a near by hill with Breakfast, Lunch and Coracle ride in Cauvery, though the tariff Rs.900/head or 900/nose (as per Arijeet's vocabulary) looked quite high for a day camping.

The trek was moderately tough for us, but it would have been an easy walk for any trekker. We saw a Dear on the way, but Arijeet was not ready to settle for anything less than a tiger. The energetic Arijeet's 24/7 talking, laughing, shouting and theoretical Sudaya's philosophies kept us going during the trek.

Sudaya's enthu for posing for Photos is well known, this pose will make even Veerappan run for his life.

After the climbing down the hill, we had walk along the shores of Cauvery. By the time, it was time for Lunch. The food was great, and it was a refreshing change from Office lunch. Lunch followed resting in the resort and Coracle ride in the river. The river had many Crocodiles, so nobody ventured into the water as no body wanted to be on the Crocodile's menu.

After evening tea, it was time to return, after a day completely different from the city chaos in Bangalore.
