Bheemeshwari is a small town that lies between the Shivasamudra falls and Mekedatu falls on the Cauvery River in the Mandya district of Karnataka. It is a great spot for eco-tourism and is a natural habitat for the mahseer fish found in the waters of the Cauvery. The surrounding lush forest cover is home to many animas like elephants wild boars monkeys jackals crocodiles otters and leopards; as well as a variety of water birds like herons ibis cormorants and kingfisher. The presence of the River Cauvery has made Bheemeshwari a major fishing hub. Varying anywhere from a 4 km to a 30 km distance these treks cover small rural hamlets in the neighboring hills.
