State : Karnataka
A very serene place away from the maddening noise of the city and not too far from Bangalore either. Need no extensive planning, just decide which weekend you want to take off and head towards Bheemeshwari. One night stay at this place is just enough to rejuvenate the mind and body to take the everyday challenges once again.
Distance from Bangalore : 100 km (South of Bangalore via Kanakpura)
Good place to stay at : Jungle Lodges
Best way to reach there : By car
Activities to do : Coricle Ride, Nature walk
Rooms : Log huts or Tented cottages (for more closer to nature experience)
Meals : Meals and evening snacks is part of the whole package ( liked the barbecue before dinner)

What I liked the most about this place was the tranquil environment and in total natural surroundings. The cottages(log huts) face the Cauvery river. With each log hut, a hammock is provided. It is a wonderful experience to just relax on the hammock with a light-read book and transition between sleeping and awake states. After being so accustomed to staying indoors and in artificial lights always, getting such abundant light and fresh air feels really amazing and it does a world of good to the spirits.
Important tips :
- Reach there by the checkin time, to have the complete relaxed time in the natural surroundings.
- It will take 3+ hrs to reach the resort from Bangalore.
- The last stretch of approach road was not very good when we went in 2006. So it took a little longer to cover that last 50 odd kms.
- It is better to carry some light jackets if you want to enjoy the outdoors at dusk and for early morning nature walk.
