Trekking Options In Bheemeshwari
From Bheemeshwari, one can trek to either of the three places- Chellurehill, Doddamkali and Galibore.
The trek to Chellurehill is a 7.5-kilometre long trail and is a relatively easy one. The trek begins by crossing the Cauvery River and then passing through the breathtakingly beautiful Chellure Hills. The trek also includes a fun boat ride.
The next trekking option is the trek to Doddamkali. Doddamkali is located 7 kilometres away from Bheemeshwari, deep inside the forest. This isolated place is ideal for bird watching, and also offers opportunities for fishing and rafting. The rugged terrain of the Doddamkali nature camp can be reached by trekking from Bheemeshwari. At this site, the majestic River Cauvery forms a pool, which is the ideal place for indulging in water sports.
Galibore, 16 kilometres away from Bheemeshwari, and in the opposite direction of Doddamkali, is another trekking route. Galibore is surrounded by the tall Terminalia Arjuna trees and is a natural habitat for the fishes. The river here cuts through in the front and is bounded by hills on each side. Herds of elephants can be spotted near the banks of the river. Galibore is a 'catch and release' camp. This means that even if you manage to catch hold of a fish, you have to release it back into its natural habitat.

Best Time For Trekking In Bheemeshwari
Although a day-long trip to Bheemeshwari can be enjoyed anytime in the year, the best time to do so is in the months between August and February. During this period, the river is in full bloom after the monsoon, and the vegetation acquires a fresh appeal to it. This time is also ideal for bird watchers, as river terns, fishing eagles, woodpeckers, kingfishers and other species flock here in large numbers. Overall, the region is at its peak of beauty and the chances of trekkers sighting a great wild animal or two, or rare birds that dwell in the dense forest, are the highest during these months.
