Bheemeshwari Jungle Lodges and Resorts

A quick review of Bheemeshwari on the internet made me feel that it had all the characteristics to make our last minute trip an exciting and adventurous one. Discussing with friends, we decided to hit the road. On the way to Bheemeshwari, we took a deviation to Sangam – where Cauvery and Arakavathi rivers meet. 

Unfortunately, there was very little water and nothing much to see there.

After this we started for Bheemeshwari Jungle lodges and resorts. The Kanakpura road was good. When we took the left at Halagur, the road was narrow at some places but overall the drive was ok.

Once we reached Bheemeshwari, I set out with my camera to take some snaps – spotted two Crocodile in the river, some birds and insects.

 

Adventure 1: Curiosity got over me and I wanted to check things upstream. Found a place where the river was very narrow and started to cross. Suddenly I missed the depth J and fell in neck deep water. My camera and mobile were completely wet. I dried them for some time and lucky for me, the camera started working but not the phone. There was no network in the area anyways J. Some of the snaps made me feel that it was worth the trip.

  

The clothes quickly dried in the cool breeze. Then was time to catch take some sunset snaps.  

After this, it was barbecue time at bon-fire followed by dinner.

Next day morning I woke up at 6am and got ready for a trek in the jungle. We could see some early morning birds near the log-hut where we stayed. The trek started pretty well where we spotted an eagle, some other birds, wild boar, deers, etc.

  

Adventure 2: After about 20mins of trek, one of the guides heard an elephant and we stopped. It was lone male elephant and could be dangerous. We inched ahead and the elephant came charging!!We ran for our life and just when I thought that it could be a long chase, it stopped abruptly and went away. We recovered from the shock and took a deviation.

  

After this, I had some fun with Zip line and then it was time to head back home.

Before booking at Bheemeshwari Jungle lodges and resorts, there was confusion on log hut, mud hut, tent, etc. I have captured some snaps to clarify the air around it.
