Just about a quick ride away, this is the perfect destination for a morning visit. Grab some breakfast on Mysore road and do make a stop at the Big Banyan Tree. The first glance of the magnificent Manchinbele Dam is awe-striking! The waters of River Arkavathi may be alluring, but a dip might not be the safest idea. You can arrange for a camping experience by the backwaters- stay in tents, have bonfires and give rock climbing and zip-lining a shot. Apparently, there’s an alternate route that offers an off-road experience. The locals will help you figure it out. Or check out our story on that and the Xtreme Camp Zone here.
