PREFACE
Shivamogga district is in Malenadu
region of Karnataka state in India. Malenadu region is in the midst of Western Ghats,
which is declared as World Heritage site.
`Malenadu’ in Kannada means land of
rain. Shivamogga comes alive in rainy season when the rivers are full to the
brim, waterfalls dance to their glory, lush greenery cover the landscape,
forests and wildlife regain their beauty.
It is said that Malenadu was
specially made by God as a Garden. The rainy season here is from June to
October. So, the right time to visit Shivamogga is during the monsoons. But, summer
is the best time to visit the hill stations and mountains here.
Shivamogga has a lot in store for
tourists. World famous waterfalls like Jog Falls, wild life sanctuary, bird
sanctuary, wild life safari, forests and nature camps like Agumbe, hill station
and mountain peaks like Kodachadri, historical places like forts, spiritual
places like temples and rivers such as Sharavathi, Tunga and Bhadra flow here.
Explore a holiday any weekend in Malenadu’s
wild circuit. A weekend in Shivamogga is a typical holiday on the wild side.
This part of the earth is a trekker’s
paradise. The forests and mountain ranges challenge the adventurous to conquer
them.
Nature has been partial to this part
of the world. Blessed with dense Western Ghats, the bountiful rivers, fertile
lands, green woods and immense wild life, Shivamogga forest range is an ideal
place for adventure lovers.
Shivamogga, wholly and entirely is
bright and beautiful. Everything waiting to be discovered by an adventurer.
A couple of days stay at Shivamogga
is memorable, where nature creates waves in the unbridled mind.
Shivamogga is 275 km from Bengaluru,
and 770 km from Mumbai. Bus and rail network to Bengaluru is excellent. The
nearest airport is in Mangaluru, which is 200 km from Shivamogga.
