Photo Essay: a quick visit to Shivanasamudra
With steady inflow from Coorg owing to pouring rains, KRS is now full, and there is plenty of water flowing down in Kaveri. Hoping that this is the right time, I decided to make a quick day trip to Shivanasamudra. There indeed was plenty of water and we had a great time. Even though we started as early as 6am, we had no intention to reach the falls – 120km away, before 3pm. We stopped often along the way and drove easy. The stop-overs were breakfast at Kamat Lokaruchi, rocky terrains of Ramnagar and some lakes after Maddur. We decided to take a deviation to Talkad before heading to Shivanasamudra. Some photos..
