Doddamakali Fishing & Nature Camp
Doddamakali is situated 6 km upriver of Bheemeshwari. This is the remotest and
the most rugged and primitively beautiful place imaginable. This is where you
will learn the meaning of the word "isolation".
Here the Cauvery stills and collects into a large pool which is ideal for water
sports. Six tents are located here. Doddamakali is a great place if you are
ready to rough it out. Our staff, of course, will always be with you. This is
our base for corporate team building exercises, conducted through OZONE, the
leading outdoorsmen of South India.
There are two ways of reaching this place - a direct road route, the final part
of which is very steep and needs a four wheel drive jeep to negotiate the last
few kilometres. Alternatively, you can park at Bheemeshwari and trek 6 km to
Doddamakali.
Getting There: Cauvery Fishing Camp is set on the banks of
the River Cauvery. Set among steep hills, it is a tranquil and panoramic place
where fish are found in abundance. Further upstream is yet another fishing camp
at Doddamakali. Bheemeshwari is 100 km from Bangalore via Kanakapura / Halagur

rugged of all the three camps.Jungle Lodges organises transport on request (a/c

Must Do : Cauvery beckons as soon as you check in. A quick
walk to the riverbank is simply irresistible. Dip your feet in the pristine
waters and you can actually feel the travails of city life fading away. With
the assistance of our courteous and knowledgeable staff, you can trek through
thick forest and scale a series of hilltops.
If you are not too eager on a long trek, do some short nature walks instead.
The most important activity at the Cauvery Fishing camp is the "Catch &
Release" method of Masheer Fishing or Angling. Even if you are not an expert,
you could try your hand at fishing guided by our expert staff. Float down the
meandering river on a coracle, indulge in some fishing for fun, observe 95 species
of birds, including rare ones like the grey headed fishing eagle, spotbilled
duck, small pied kingfisher and the black-bellied river tern.
You can also spot crocodiles, turtles and otters in the water and on land watch
as elephant, deer, wild boar and grizzly giant squirrel wander past. There's
also mountain biking, kayaking and rafting on the river Cauvery for those who
like adventure. If lazing around is your idea of a holiday, then you could relax
in a hammock and read your favourite book, or have a snooze.
Must See: When at the Cauvery Fishing Camp, you could pay
a visit to the ruins of an ancient Shiva temple adjoining the Bheemeshwari camp.
You could also interact with the Soliga aboriginal tribals living close by and
learn their primitive survival skills, passed down over the millennia. If you
have time to spare, you could visit the Mekedaatu water falls, visit Sangam
and also the Simsha water falls.
