Rafting down the Cauvery


We all started from bangalore at 8:40am. Our bus was perfect for all the 24 people. It was a great cloudy day with streams of sun rays adding to the freshness in the air. The place we were heading to was Bheemeshwari, in the bank of Cauvery River. Bheemeshwari is around 120KM from Bangalore. It was great fun in the bus. We started antakshiri and that's it... time went by. We reached that place at around 11:30, had lunch there and we were all set to go...

The rafting started from Bheemeshwari and passed through thick forests, which is in Cauvery Wildlife sanctuary, Kanakapura Division, and the rafting event was around 8 Kms, which took 2 Hrs to complete. This swift and powerful river stretch is through beautiful valley, the real experience through the wilderness without leaving any trace in the nature and still experiencing the beauty of Mother Nature. The entire stretch comprised of small rapids, which was most thrilling for most of the first timers. The best part was diving into the water. We all jumped into the water and the amaging thing was people who never knew who to swim were also swimming in the middle of the cauvery river.

Finally when we reached the end point, two jeeps were waiting for us to take us back to the base camp. The journey to the base camp was amaging. We went through thick jungle road and finally reached our camp.

All together, it was fun
