A beautiful visito at the lake this sunday!
M G RoadEco tourism at Jungle Lodges Resorts
Head off to the Bheemeshwari (Cauvery Fishing Camp) Jungle Lodges for a memorable week end spent at eco tourism. Thats what we did for our second wedding anniversary, and we loved every minute of the time we spent there! :)
We left bangalore a bit late (arnd 10 AM) but will advise you to leave earlier to beat the heat (depending on the season of course!)...we reached there by around 12:30 jus in time for a nice welcome drink and a sumptuous lunch...
the place was awesome! huts, tents and small rooms so close to nature, on the bank of the river, surrounded by trees is an inviting sight to anyone and we were mighty thrilled with the palce...loads of birds of such brilliant colors were present and we went mad, clicking away to glory and hopin that some of those pics turn out good!! :))
after a nice lunch, we rested in a hammock which was tied in some welcome shade! we spent some "quality" time together before hopping on for a coracle ride! I have been on a coracle before but this was Aj's first time and he enjoyed it like a kid given a new toy!! :)) ... the guide (coracle guy) was very patient and explained to us everything that we can see at this time of the year!
we saw some really exotic wildlife and here is a list of them:
Kingfishers (dozens)
Cranes and egrets
Crocs!!!
Giant malabar squirrel
Bulbuls
Robins
A few species of birds which we dont know the names yet..
last but not least a giant bald eagle flying with a prized fish catch!!!
we ended the day with a nice barbeque dinner and retried to bed tired but very happy!
Morning dawned and we went off on a trek to a nearby hillock...not exerting but the morning air, chillness and the stillness of the place was exhilarating! we saw a pack of sambar deer whizzing past at around 100mts away and a fleeting glimpse of a peacock but nothing else much apart frm the usual green and blue birds ... we then walked back along the river banks, had breakfast and left back for bangalore :)
on the whole a brilliant get away! :)
