Shivanasamudram alias Shivasamudra about 120kms from Bangalore is a tiny hamlet town surrounded by forested hills and a lush green valley. It's an alluring spot, where river Cauvery branches into two picturesque water falls namely Gaganachukki and Bharachukki. These falls are the source of Asia's first Hydro Electric Power project called "Shimsa". The ideal time to visit Shivanasamudra is between the months of June and December.
