Bangalore to Shivanasamudra Falls Day Tour

Shivanasamudra is the classic Bangalore monsoon day trip — 135 km via Kanakapura and Malavalli to the point where the Cauvery splits around an island and drops in two great segmented falls, Gaganachukki and Bharachukki. At full post-monsoon flow it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the state, and a comfortable there-and-back day with your own vehicle.

All variants handle the route easily as there is no ghat section. Having the van waiting means the group can take in both falls — which sit a few kilometres apart on opposite sides of the island — plus the Somanathapura Hoysala temple on the way back without hurrying for a bus.

Force Urbania Rental for the Bangalore to Shivanasamudra Route

A Shivanasamudra day trip is the easiest kind of Force Urbania rental to run — 135 km of good touring road via Kanakapura with no ghat section, so every variant in the Urbania hire fleet is equally suitable and you book purely on headcount. The value of the van rental here is the waiting vehicle: the two falls sit a few kilometres apart on opposite sides of the island, and having your own transport lets the group take in both plus a Hoysala temple without chasing a bus.

About Shivanasamudra

Shivanasamudra is where the Cauvery splits around an island and drops off the Deccan plateau in two great segmented cascades — Gaganachukki and Bharachukki — roughly a kilometre apart. In full post-monsoon flow, from August to November, it is among the most dramatic waterfalls in South India, and the site of one of Asia's first hydroelectric power stations, commissioned in 1902. Nearby lie the exquisite Somanathapura Keshava temple, a UNESCO-listed Hoysala jewel, and the buried-temple sands of Talakadu on the riverbank.
