| Sangama is the confluence of two rivers – Arkavathi and Cauvery. The waters here are shallow and wide, so you can walk around in the water or take a dip. This place is around 110 km and a 2 hour drive from Bangalore. The last 5kms of the drive to Sangama is quite interesting and you also face unexpected bends. The road takes a steep dip into a valley and offers a nice view of the running river. Mekedatu is 4 km from Sangama for which you can take a bus or trek along the river banks as preferred by most. There is a deviation towards left at 5 km before Sangama to reach Chunchi falls. Activities around include trekking, swimming in the river, fishing and safari into Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. The only mode of transportation to reach Sangama is by road and can be done on a two-wheeler or a four-wheeler. From Bangalore on NH 209 travel towards Kanakapura which is 56 km away. There you take a left turn which leads to Sangama which is 33 kms away. Sangama can be visited through out the year. During monsoons the river is dangerous and at times people are not allowed to get into the water. This has been a popular picnic as well as shooting spot for many movies / songs. The scenic beauty and the accessible water are bound to draw you here time and again. Don’t forget to carry a change of clothes, because the water is definitely going to tempt you. |
