The previous weekends and trips were planned, to an extent, and so was this particular trip. Decided to check out some beaches close to Mumbai this time as opposed to going out-of-town for beachasms (a term I coined for ‘pleasures attained whilst visiting beaches’ – to be understood spiritually!). Had heard and read about Uttan and Manori. Hence, decided to out for myself, these beaches that were so close to Mumbai (Infact, they are in Mumbai!)

But, before that, I had to go to Ulhas River and capture the sun rise.

It’s again a New Year eve and we all wanted to celebrate it in its own way however we (I and few friends) decided to do something new and celebrate it bit differently.

My friend Bharani suggested going to Bheemeswari fishing camp which means far from city noise and pollution, no telephone, no TV and music to disturb you. It’s just you with nature so that you can relax and enjoy every bit of natural environment.

Bharani was aware of the Jungle Lodges booking place at MG road so we went there and asked for tent however it was our bad luck that no tents were available for booking but we got 2 cottages and 2 log huts. We got 10% discount as our company was registered with them and was recognized as regular customer.

Bheemeshwari is a small town that lies between the Shivanasamudra falls and Mekedatu falls, on the Cauvery river in Mandya district of Karnataka. Bheemeshwari is located at a distance of 100 km from the tech city, Bangalore, down the Kanakpura – Kollegal Highway.
