Situated in the district of Mandya, it is located at a distance of 100 km from the capital city of Bangalore on the Bangalore-Kollegala national highway. From Hagalur, it is a 23-km drive to the fishing camp and the camp is maintained by Karnataka Jungle Lodges and Resorts.

Some Basics About The Fishing Camp

The Cauvery Fishing Camp comprises of three camps - Bheemeshwari, Galibore and Doddamakali. While the Bheemeshwari and Galibore camps are meant for tourists, the Doddamakali Fishing Camp was developed more as an off-site corporate getaway.

All three sites are basically fishing and nature camps. The camp at Galibore lies at a distance of about 16 km from Bheemeshwari, while the one at Doddamakali lies at a distance of about 6 km from the same spot. These places are as primitive and rugged as possible, for you to enjoy your time away from the city.

The camps have log huts and tent facilities. Though the facilities might look very primitive from the outside, inside the same you will definitely not miss the comfort of your home.

Activities At The Fishing Camp

Fishing for the Mahaseer variety is the main activity here, as such fish can be found in huge schools or populations. As the fish population is on the decline, visitors here use the Catch and Release technique in order to fish, as they catch their fish and later immediately release them, while keeping score.

Kayaking, trekking, coracle riding and mountain biking are some of the other activities that you can enjoy here. Along with these activities, you can also enjoy watching around 95 species of birds, crocodiles, and turtles. This place is a wonderful getaway – one that you’ll enjoy if you’re an outdoor person.
