Before you go: Bangalore to Madikeri guide.
Start early for a quiet darshan. The Kaveri, the Kannike and a hidden third river meet here beside the Bhagandeshwara Temple. Families take a dip at the sangama and do the pooja for their elders here.
8 km uphill from Bhagamandala, at the spring where the Kaveri starts. After darshan, climb the steps behind the temple to the Brahmagiri viewpoint. On Kaveri Sankramana in mid October the place is packed, so we leave Madikeri before dawn that day.
About 30 km from Bhagamandala near Kakkabe, the main temple of the Kodava people. A simple temple in the hills, and the lunch served here on festival days is well known.
A small old palace of the Kodagu kings near Kakkabe, a short drive from the temple. After this, drive to Virajpet or Gonikoppal for the night.
About 50 km south of Virajpet. The Rameshwara Temple is at the start of the path, and a forest walk of about a kilometre leads to the falls. Wear shoes with grip.
Back through Gonikoppal, Hunsur and Mysore, about 280 km. You reach Bangalore around 6 to 7 PM.
