Bheemeshwari in Mandya district is an ideal place not only for the wildlife but
also for people on a holiday spree.
The sparkling blue waters of Cauvery wind through rocks and ravines and fall off
the Deccan Plateau to form the Twin Falls of Barachukki and Gananachukki. About
35 Kms downstream is yet another set of falls called Mekedatu (Goat's Leap).
Lying between these breathtaking cascades is Bheemeshwari.
It is a perfect picnic spot, where nature has created a natural habitat for the
Mahseer fish and variety of exciting animals. The lush forest sheltered by steep
valley and scattered by little streams, invite large groups of animals and
birds.
Fauna :
One can see herds of
elephants amongst thick trees. Deer springing in the air, wild boars, monkeys,
jackals, crocodiles, otter and leopards and many other animals inhabit the
place.
There are plenty of birds too. Heron, ibis, cormorant, kingfishers have all made
their home here.
