After a long time this trip was planned. The trip participants were Abhigyan , Sourabh, Tarun and Ankit. We decided to go on sunday as on saturday India and England ODI was coming and India did win that one. We started from bangalore at 8.30 in Morning and reached the camp at around 10.00.
Location -
Bheemeshwari is located at a distance of 100 km from the tech city, Bangalore, down the Kanakpura - Kollegal Highway. You have to turn off at Halagur, and go down the Halagur - Muttatti road.
Our Trip -
Our main plan was the rafting. Rafting takes place in three batches. Batch timings are 10.30, 1.30 and then last one at 3.30. The camp is controlled by the Jungle Lodges and resorts authority. More info about the various facilities at the camp be found at their website. They have their pwn trainer who will be present along with you during the rafting activity. The trainer before commencing the activity gave us some instruction on how to row the boat, what all to do during a drowning situation and the safety measures to be taken. It's a 8km long drive through the river.Our rafting started with full josh. On the way in the 8km ride we did go through some of the terrains of the water which was terrifying for the first time, but after that we enjoyed a lot with each of the water terrain we approached. In midway there is a swimming zone, where the trainers ask to jump into the sea and swim. It good for those who don't know to swim. I also learnt little bit of swimming with that experience.
After reaching the destination we all were carried back to the starting point in a jeep. The lunch was provided to us at the camp area. After resting for some we decided to trek, and did trek for some distance but we didn't get the fun of trekking. so finaly we decided to head back to bangalore. In the end it was exciting journey because finally i did river rafting.
