Bilikal Ranganatha Swamy Betta also known as Bilikal Betta is a hill at 3780 ft, is a huge attraction for trekking. The trekking takes 2.5 hrs uphill and about 1.5 hr downhill. From Bangalore city, this is as far as 70 km. The trekking trail starts from Konala Doddi. It’s popular for night trek as well.  Post monsoon, the thick vegetation harbors elephants and other wildlife. Permission from the forest office in Bannerghatta is a must for hiking to the summit. The hill is also known for the temple of Lord Ranganatha Swamy at the top. The temple and adjacent quarters are housed underneath a huge granite rock.

Mekedatu : Falls through gorge

The place is at Bheemeshwari, at a distance of 103 km from Bangalore City Junction.

Bheemeshwari is a small town in Mandya district of Karnataka. It is located between the Shivanasamudra Falls and Mekedatu on River Cauvery. Mekedatu has an eye tonic view when you stand on the gorge to watch the great fall.

Kokkare Bellur : Bird Sanctuary

Named after painted stork “Kokkare”, this village is in Mandya district of Karnataka, located at about 100Kms from Bangalore. Apart from Storks, this sanctuary is also known for spot-billed pelicans. This is not a reserved bird sanctuary and yet has gained international recognition in the recent past for being one of the 21 breeding sites existing in India. Rare and beautiful migratory birds can be viewed within the limits of the village.

As you visit the dam nearby, the amazing sight of birds catching fish is simple entertainment. However as the story goes, villagers believe that these birds bring luck. The most unique phenomena that you will enjoy is to see how these villagers have adopted the spot-billed pelicans.  Phosphorus and potassium-rich manure obtained from the bird droppings are a great benefit to the village.
