Trip to Mekadatu and Chunchi falls


It was a Sunday morning. We started to Mekadatu around 5 AM (one of the few times when I have woke up early) with packed breakfast and lunch.
Mekedatu means Goat's Leap in Kannada. Here the Cauvery river jumps in to deep narrow gorge over which even a goat can leap.

One can drive only up to Cauvery Akravati Sangama. After this you can cross the river in coracle ( circular boats ) or by walking if the water level is low. From here Mekedatu is 4km downstream. There is only one bus available at the other end which can take you till Mekedatu. The rocks at Mekedatu get slippery during monsoon. Had royal fun there. Rest from the pics...

Chunchi Falls is also very nearby for which you have to turn before reaching Sangama.....
