Cauvery Fishing Camp

The River Cauvery, also known as Kaveri, is one of the majestic rivers of South India. Making its way from the dense forests of Karnataka to the coast of Tamil Nadu, this imposing waterway gives a chance to indulge in fishing and catching the largest and most challenging tropical sporting river fish known to man - the Mahseer. The very sight of River Cauvery will entice you to step onto the banks and feel the water lapping at your feet. Just take a boat and go out to fish on the strong currents of the mighty river. You can’t help but smile widely when you proudly proclaim your catch to your family and even take a photograph with the prized trophy! This place is also an ultimate retreat for those who are nature lovers and basically looking for a different vacation in the lap of nature.
