Galibore Fishing and Nature Camp is
tucked away literally far from the maddening
crowd, deep in the deciduous forests about ten
km from Sangam, on the banks of the River
Cauvery. There is no habitation of any kind for
miles around and the only sounds are the
birdcalls and the whistling of the wind. Indeed
the place gets its name from a windy hillock
called Galibore, situated just behind the
camp. |
|
The Camp is in the middle of wilderness
overlooking the River Cauvery, surrounded by
hills. The Camp itself is covered with trees
lining both sides of the river. This is indeed a
rough country. This is ideal for those who want
total privacy and no crowd. |
|
| ACCOMMODATION |
 |
This Camp has 10 luxurious tented cottages with attached bath.
However, there is no electricity here. We provide only hurricane/ solar lamps, which add to the rustic nature of the place. Located sufficiently away from any habitation, Galibore offers complete peace and tranquility. |
|
| FACILITIES |
|
Sit back under a gazebo and tuck into a
buffet lunch or dinner, among other hungry souls
like you. While breakfast is generally a quiet
affair, as you savour the view and the natural
ambience along with the food, the evening
barbecue by the riverside is more spirited and
lively. As twilight dissolves into the night, a
bonfire is lit and while you recline on a lawn
chair or swing leisurely in a hammock,
preparations are afoot for the barbecue - of
grilled chicken, fish or
vegetables. |
|
Hammocks are fixed outside each tent and
hut for those who would like to laze or read a
book in the open. A safe tumbling net is
provided for guests to have a rollicking
time. |
|
| 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 offish. |

| LOCATION |
|
Exactly hundred kilometers from Bangalore, a signpost at Kanakapura guides you
to turn left into a village road that'll take
you to Sangam, the confluence of the two rivers
Arkavathi and Cauvery. From here, following
another signpost, it's a short drive of about
ten kilometers on a gravelly track, through some
desolate, wooded terrain, to the Camp. Though it
is an unmetalled road, we have ensured that cars
can reach Galibore. By the way, this place is
6km down stream of Muttatti
village. |
