Resort Overview
Organized by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, the Bheemeshwari get away, the Galibore camp and the Doddamakali lodges offer this virgin experience. The fishing camps are mainly known among enthusiasts because the regions are rich in Mahseer fish, the largest sporting fish that’s synonymous with the Cauvery.
Facilities Offered
The Beemeshwari camp offers eight well furnished premium log-huts, out of which four are fully air conditioned with attached bathrooms that are neat and stylish, yet in harmony with the surrounding jungle. There are nine separate luxury tents by the banks of the river that offer a more thrilling stay. All stay homes and tents come with twin beds, are well ventilated and optimally furnished.
Galibore offers a more rustic experience as this haven has 10 tent cottages paired with well planned bathrooms. The camp lacks electricity deliberately, in order to stress on its claims of being a natural retreat. The Doddamakali camp, however, takes this one a touch further by focussing primarily on a rough and tough trekking experience. The Cauvery Fishing Camp however provides its residents with lip smacking Indian cuisine in between these sessions of adventure.
