Cauvery Wildlife
Sanctuary |
|
| |
Tucked away amidst mountains, valleys, a mighty river,
jungle sounds, and lush greenery, the sanctuary is an
idyllic getaway where anglers and nature enthusiasts
can get a whiff of raw adventure and a view of the majestic
Cauvery as it bounces
over jagged rocks. Here, you can trek to the top of
the hill to get a panoramic
view of the Cauvery flowing through the picturesque
valley below. You could
also visit the ruins of the magnificent sculpted Shiva
temple, a place of worship for the local Soliga tribes,
raft down the rapids of the Cauvery, or even indulge
in game fishing.
