Trip to Bheemeswari & Shivanasamudra Falls

Bheemeswari is around 3 hours journey from Bangalore. From there Shivanasamudra Falls is around 45 minutes. Though Bheemeswari was disappointing but trip to Shivanasamudra Falls and the coracle ride made my day. We passed under the fall in coracles with water splashing all around us. It was simply stunning and would cherish for longtime to come.
We had started early in the morning. As planned our potluck breakfast consisted of Dahi Vada, Puri, alu mutter, dum aloo, peetha and many other delicious odiya dishes. We reached there by 9:30. When i got down the tempo traveller i was mesmerized by the view. We spread our mats near the river. Started to serve our dishes & then....... We had company. We were surrounded by monkeys. They outnumbered us. With every passing second they were drawn closer by the food. Most of us gulped down the breakfast which we would have liked to relish. The jungle resort at Bheemeshwari organizes rafting & fishing camp. They were overbooked due to holidays, and fishing camp is only in the morning. This we would plan some other day. So after breakfast we went to the river, spread our mats and sat near it. But within one hour we were bored by the scenic beauty. So we decided to leave for Shivanasamudra falls. I would describe the journey to Shivanasamudram some other time.
