Bheemeshwari Adventure and Nature Camp
Run by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, the Karnataka government's eco-tourism company, this riverside camp is the main reason most people visit. Cottages and tents look out over the Kaveri, and activities have included coracle rides, kayaking, zip lining, nature walks and bird watching, depending on the season and water levels. Day visits and stays need to be booked in advance through the official channel. The camp's setting among tall trees and river rocks makes it a favourite for family weekends and team outings.

Day visits and stays need to be booked in advance through the official channel. The camp's setting among tall trees and river rocks makes it a favourite for family weekends and team outings.
Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary
Bheemeshwari sits on the edge of this large protected forest along the Kaveri, home to elephants, leopards, spotted deer, the grizzled giant squirrel, marsh crocodiles and many river and forest birds. Access inside the sanctuary is controlled by the forest department, so guided walks from the camp are the best way to experience it. Early morning is the best time for sightings and birdsong.
Mahseer Waters of the Kaveri
This stretch of the Kaveri became famous worldwide as a home of the golden mahseer, a large river fish that drew anglers from many countries for decades. Angling has since been stopped to protect the river ecosystem, but the rocky pools and rapids that made the area famous are still a beautiful sight, and naturalists at the camp share the story of the mahseer and its conservation.
Bheemeshwara Temple
The small Shiva temple that gives the place its name is linked by local legend to Bhima of the Mahabharata, who is said to have visited during the Pandavas' exile. It is a simple, peaceful shrine near the river and a quiet stop for devotees.
Muthathi
A few kilometres away, Muthathi is a riverside village with an old Anjaneya temple. Local legend says a pearl from Sita's nose ring fell into the river here and Hanuman recovered it, giving the village its name from the Kannada words for pearl. The sandy banks and shallow water are popular with families, although visitors should never enter the river where currents are strong.
Galibore Nature Camp
Upstream of Bheemeshwari, Galibore is another Jungle Lodges and Resorts camp set deep in the sanctuary, and it is quieter and more remote. It suits travellers who want a longer stay focused on birding and nature walks. Road access involves a rough final stretch, so let us know in advance and we will suggest the right vehicle.
Sangama and Mekedatu
At Sangama, the Arkavathi river joins the Kaveri, and a short vehicle ride from there leads to Mekedatu, where the Kaveri squeezes through a narrow rocky gorge. The name means goat's leap, from the legend of a goat that jumped across the gap. The view of the river rushing through the rocks is dramatic, especially after the monsoon. Local transport between Sangama and Mekedatu is arranged at the site.
Chunchi Falls
On the road towards Sangama, Chunchi Falls is where the Arkavathi drops through a series of rocky steps. It is at its best from August to November after the rains. The rocks are slippery, so enjoy the view from the safe viewing points.
Kabbaladurga and Shivanasamudra
Kabbaladurga is a steep granite hill near Kanakapura with an old fort and a small temple on top, and it is a favourite with trekkers who start early. Travellers taking the Malavalli route home can add Shivanasamudra, where the Kaveri splits into the Gaganachukki and Bharachukki waterfalls, a spectacular sight during and after the monsoon.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Spiritual Gateway of Kanakapura Road
The journey starts along Kanakapura Road past Banashankari, Konanakunte and the NICE Road junction, where the city slowly gives way to open land. This stretch is the "Spiritual Gateway of Kanakapura Road", with the Art of Living International Centre at Udayapura, known for its striking Dhyan Mandir, and the ISKCON Vaikuntha Hill temple close by. Both are peaceful stops if you are returning in the evening. Leaving before 7:00 AM is important, as the metro and road works around Banashankari and Konanakunte can slow traffic considerably later in the morning. Many travellers pick up coffee and fresh idlis at one of the popular darshinis along this stretch before heading out of the city limits.
Industrial Town of Kanakapura Road
Harohalli is the "Industrial Town of Kanakapura Road", home to a large KIADB industrial area that has grown rapidly in recent years, with manufacturing and engineering units on both sides of the road. Beyond the factories, the landscape turns rural, with coconut groves, ragi fields and rocky hillocks. The widened highway allows a smooth drive, and a few restaurants near Harohalli make a good early breakfast halt for groups who left Bangalore very early. This is also where you start to see the granite boulders that define the region.
Granite Town of Karnataka
Kanakapura is the "Granite Town of Karnataka", known for its extensive granite quarries and polishing units, and it is also an important silk cocoon and agricultural market town. The town is the base for treks to Kabbaladurga and the junction for the road to Chunchi Falls, Sangama and Mekedatu. Kanakapura has the best choice of restaurants on the route, so it is a sensible place for breakfast or a tea break. Your driver will also refuel here if needed, as fuel stations become scarce beyond this point.
Gateway to the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary
Sathanur is the "Gateway to the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary", a small town where the road leaves the main traffic behind and heads towards the Kaveri valley. The surroundings become greener and hillier, with scrub forest and farms dotted with tamarind trees. This is the last town with shops before the river, so it is a good place to pick up water, snacks and any supplies you need for the day. From Sathanur, the road narrows, and your driver will slow down for the forest stretch, where wildlife crossings are possible.
Mahseer Country of the Kaveri
The final stretch leads down to Bheemeshwari, "Mahseer Country of the Kaveri", where the river runs wide and rocky beneath tall trees. The camp entrance and parking are close to the riverbank, and your driver waits nearby while you enjoy the activities. For day trips, most visitors spend four to five hours here before heading back by mid-afternoon to reach Bangalore before evening traffic builds. If you are staying overnight, the driver can collect you the next day or stay with you, as agreed in your booking.
A full-day team outing with coracle rides, river activities and lunch at the camp, ideal for any corporate outing near bangalore. Includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO approval and a dedicated Urbania chauffeur. Our corporate urbania hire bangalore option is managed by the corporate travels bangalore desk.
A relaxed day at Bheemeshwari with coracle rides and a picnic, plus a stop at Chunchi Falls or Muthathi on the way home. Every seat reclines, so children and grandparents can rest on the return.
The 12 and 13 seater luxury urbania rental bangalore configurations add generous legroom, ambient lighting and LCD entertainment, suited to NRI family visits and client hospitality.
For friends' groups and clubs: Bheemeshwari river activities, a Mekedatu and Sangama visit, and an optional Kabbaladurga climb, with the same Urbania and chauffeur throughout. An overnight stay at the galibore nature camp can be added.

The bheemeshwari distance from bangalore is approximately 100 to 105 kilometres via Kanakapura Road, Kanakapura, Sathanur and Halagur. The drive takes 2.5 to 3 hours, as the last stretch through the forest is slow.
Force Urbania hire starts from Rs 50 per km for the 8 seater, with larger configurations priced higher, all garage to garage with fuel included. A same-day round trip usually comes to around Rs 11,000 to Rs 15,000 in an 8 seater, depending on the per-day minimum and add-on stops, before tolls, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST.
The fare includes base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Toll and parking, interstate tax, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are charged separately.
