Nisargadhama
Cauvery Nisargadhama is a beautiful island formed by the Kaveri River, spread over 64 acres. It is accessed by a picturesque hanging rope bridge, which is one of its most famous features. The island is a thick forest of bamboo groves, sandalwood trees, and teak. It serves as an ecological park and a popular picnic spot for families. Visitors can see various animals in the Deer Park, Rabbit Park, and Peacock Park. The river provides opportunities for boating in safe, shallow areas. There are also elevated bamboo cottages maintained by the forest department where tourists can stay overnight for a unique jungle experience. It is an ideal spot for those looking to spend a few hours in nature without the strain of a heavy trek, offering well-laid paths and plenty of shade even during the summer months.
