Close to Mysore, the gushing waters of Chunchunkatte make for an awe-inspiring sight. Legend has it that Rama and his wife Sita stayed here during their exile. And that Sita took a dip here which is why the waters sport a yellowish tinge (from the turmeric on her body). While you can’t enjoy a dip here (especially during monsoons), you can definitely soak in the sights and sounds of the place. This is a great spot for bird watching, by the way.
