About Bheemeshwari

Proximal Monolith

Bheemeshwari is a nature and adventure camp situated on the banks of the River Cauvery, managed by Jungle Lodges and Resorts. While lower in elevation than typical hill stations, the camp's setting in the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary among forested hills qualifies it as a hill retreat. The Cauvery here is home to the legendary mahseer — one of the world's toughest sport fish — drawing anglers from across the globe. Activities include kayaking through rapids, coracle rides, rope bridge crossings, zip-lining, and guided nature walks through riparian forest where elephants, crocodiles, and otters are spotted.
