Meandering through the woody landscape
amidst the forests of Karnataka is the Cauvery –
the most majestic and sacred river of South
India. The river offers both adventure and
opportunity for nature lovers. Nestled along
this mighty river is the Bheemeshwari Fishing
Camp, world-renowned as home to the great
‘Mahseer’ - the finest & the largest
tropical sporting fish known to man. Tucked away
from the milling crowds, yet close enough for
you to reach, this camp offers a slice of nature
that is entirely unique, one in which you can
totally feel free! .

|
In
keeping with Jungle Lodges eco tourism
philosophy, the Camp, overlooking the River
Cauvery consists of just eight luxurious ethnic
log-huts on stilts, blending beautifully with
the jungle behind. On the riverbank are also
nine well-furnished tented cottages (twin-bedded
with attached bathrooms) for those who prefer a
more closer-to-nature experience

ACTIVITIES
|
|
Bheemeshwari Fishing Camp is a perfect
base for anglers in pursuit of the Mighty one.
The fishing season here is during the months of
November, December, January and February. Guests
are provided with a local guide or ‘gillie’ for
every two visitors. Gillies help anglers with
their knowledge of the waters and are
experienced fishermen themselves. They also are
adept at using the coracle boats (native,
circular boats made out of buffalo hide) and can
move guests from place to place in the waters.
JLR provides the coracles to cross the river and
also to help with the landing of fish.
