Sangama

Kaveri & Arkavathi river confluence

Sangama is the sacred confluence where the Arkavathi river merges into the Kaveri, set against rocky riverbanks and forested gorges in Ramanagara district. The Sangameshwara temple stands watch on the bank, and the swirling waters below create a natural pool popular for dipping. Just 3.5 km upstream lies Mekedatu — the famous 'goat's leap' gorge where the Kaveri squeezes through a narrow granite chasm. Together they make one of the finest half-day escapes from Bangalore.

Muthathi

Kaveri riverside & Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary

Muthathi is a quiet Kaveri riverbank village tucked inside the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary in Mandya district. Tall silver-oak forests meet the river's edge, coracle riders ferry guests across the wide, reed-fringed current, and the forest beyond hides elephant herds, leopards and hundreds of bird species. Unlike the more-visited Bheemeshwari nearby, Muthathi retains an unhurried, almost pristine character — making it a favourite for nature lovers and serious birders.
