OVERVIEW
Sharavathi Adventure Camp
A precious jewel in the tiara of Karnataka’s splendour, the Sahyadris abound with natural bounties. With verdant valleys, gushing rivers, luxuriant grasslands and a significant forest cover they are a treasure trove of rare flora and fauna, many of which are endemic to this region. The Sahyadris sport their most vibrant attire during the monsoons when new life burgeons in every nook and corner of its expanse.The River Sharavathi plummets from a dizzying height of 830 feet creating the Jog Falls, one of India’s tallest waterfalls. The rainy season is the best time to view Jog Falls when it gushes down as four distinct cascades – Raja, Rani, Rocket and Roarer.
Located just 6 Km from the Jog Falls, Sharavathi Adventure Camp combines the grandeur of the plush mountains with a dash of adventure. Tucked snugly on the slopes of a hillock skirting the Talakalale Reservoir, this resort is a great place to revere the invigorating melange of sunshine and rain. Every season brings a new reason to visit these salubrious mountains.
The Sharavthi Nature Camp is an ideal location to experience the quintessential magic of the monsoons. After the rain-laden clouds have moved on, the weather is conducive for outdoors. In nature walks amidst bird talks you can savour the pastoral calm of the surroundings.
You can chase butterflies as they flutter from bud to blossom and leaf to leaf. Drifting along the refreshing blue waters of the reservoir you can indulge in aquatic adventures like coracle rides, kayaking and joy fishing. Sipping a hot cup of coffee by the water’s edge you can watch the sun paint the sky with shades of soft orange and transform it into dazzling strains of crimson. You can wake up to misty mornings and head out for a drive into the densely wooded forest of the Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary.
The sanctuary encompasses a part of the Sharavathi river basin and has evergreen and moist deciduous forests. At the Sharavathi Adventure Camp you are cradled in nature’s lap and left to enjoy the ethereal beauty of the Sahyadris.
