This place is known to be one of the famous waterfalls in Karnataka. It it situation at the banks of river Kaveri. This place is approx 130 KM from Bengaluru and 60 km from Mandya and approx 80Km from Mysore. We started early morning from bangalore in 3 bikes stopped near Bidadi for breakfast which is famous for bidadi thatte idli. Then we pushed off towards Mandya from there had to take deviation towards chamarajnagar. The road is not really good from Mandya too many pot holes it will easily take 1.5 to 2 hours to reach the destination with decent drive. The road is very good for off roading :D
You really can't expect very good food near shivanasamudra or barachukki, but can expect really very good tender coconut which will quench your thirst. I would suggest either pack your food if your going on a family trip or make alternate arrangements.
Good time to visit this place is July to December, but if you really enjoy to get into the water then I would suggest any time after November where the water level is low and you have boats (Theppa) to take you near to falls. They usually charge Rs. 100 per person to take you near falls to play in water, if you just want to enjoy the boat ride then they will charge Rs. 50 per head. Its a good experience n would suggest you to try it. Would suggest people not to get into the falls to play in water during Mar - June as the water level will be low and it might lead to skin infections.
