Shivanasamudram

Shivanasamudram is 120 kms from Bangalore and 60 kms from Mysore. It is a tiny hamlet town surrounded by forested hills and a lush green valley. Here the river Cauvery plummets from a height of 75 metres into a deep, rocky gorge to form two picturesque falls namely Barachukki & Gaganachukki. Downstream from the falls is Asia's first hydroelectric power project established in 1902. The general terrain of the area is shrub lands with pockets of coconuts farmlands. You can dress lightly, that is in shorts, T-shirt & the simplest of causal wear. For trekkers-boots are essential.
