The Shivanasamudra Falls is on the Kaveri River after the river has wound its way through the rocks and ravines of the Deccan Plateau and drops off to form waterfalls.

If you are bored on a weekend with absolutely no plans, then just pick up your vehicle, or hire one and just drive here. The drive to the falls is really scenic, so you will find a lot of places for photo opportunities. It will take you around 3 hours to reach there, depending on the time of departure. There are a few viewing decks for the falls, both free and paid. You cannot go to the bottom of the falls. But nonetheless, the view is breathtaking - both of the falls and the surrounding areas. WHEN TO GO: Go during the monsoon season or after it, because there is barely any water during other seasons and there will be just a small waterfall (photo attached). WHAT TO TAKE: Food and water are available there, though not a huge variety. Carry your own water bottles (be eco-friendly). You will get pakodas, fruits, coconut water, and biscuits there. Also carry an umbrella or hats, because there are barely any shady areas there (just 3-4 benches under trees). HOW MUCH: At the entry of the falls, you will have to pay for the vehicle. Then at the falls, if you want to go to the lower viewing decks, it is Rs. 5 per person. Visiting the loos is also chargeable. Coconut water is Rs. 30 per piece. The place is relatively clean, with the only garbage being plastic, so please try to carry your own water and food, as much as possible. There are also a lot of monkeys there, so be careful of your belongings. You will find professional photographers there who will click and print your photos on the spot. Not sure of the fees. There is Gaganachukki falls also nearby, but couldn't locate it. There is also a small temple town on the way to the falls. You could also visit Talakadu whilst on the trip to Barachukki Falls.

KRS dam is one of must visit place when one is in and around Mysuru. One should visit the just after the rainy season ends, Sept to Nov is ideal time, where they open the gates and its great to watch the water gushing out of these gates, and all the credit should go to Sir M Visveshwaraiah. There is garden near by called as Brindavan which is beautiful to watch, and lot of space for parking you vehicle. Garden is filled with lots flora which are mesmersizing, there is musical fountain in the evening which is spectacular to watch. So try to reach place by 15:00 so that one get time to watch the Dam, Garden and musical fountain.

This sanctuary is just a deviation from Bangalore Mysore high at Rudrakshipura.From that deviation it is just 13kms and we can see sign boards till we reach the village called K.Bellur.There are lot of birds which are busy in nesting on the trees in the village and after that breeding season starts and by April month we can see small chicks in the nest.It is very heartwarming moment to see their mothers try to protect the chicks from the sun heat under their wings and they will be feeding the food to their kids with so much of care and love.Beat season is from Dec-Apr
