Shivanasamudra

May the rainy season arrive and you wish to travel to water places, falls. This is how we planned for Shivanasamudra. Famous for Gaganachukki and Bharachukki falls.
 Shivanasamudra is a small town in Mandya district of Karnataka. This is the place where the first hydro electric power station of Asia was commissioned in 1902. The Shivanasamudra Falls is on the Kaveri River after the river has wound its way through the rocks and ravines of the Deccan Plateau and drops off to form waterfalls.

The Shivanasamudra Falls is basically a segmented waterfall that has split into a number of channels. Since the Kaveri River is huge and while flowing through its normal course comes across various rocks and ravines it forms a number of waterfalls. - See more at: http://www.focusbengaluru.com/attractions-near-bengaluru/bharachukki-falls.html#sthash.iMj9pGk5.dpuf
