River Tunga takes a turn here forming an deal picnic spot at Chiplugudde. The major attraction at
Chiplugudde are the cat fish in the river. They come in hundreds when offered
food by the visitors.
The fishes fighting and jumping on each other splashing
water on the visitors is a memorable scene to watch. Children and the old enjoy
this place to get a view of the huge fishes.
Puffed rice (mandakki) is available at the temple priests house for a
few bucks. The fishes come out only when offered puffed rice.
Chiplugudde is a small village near Thirthahalli at the bank
of the river Tunga which has a Ganesh temple. It is a very peaceful place
located in the middle of the forest. The fishes in river behind the temple
haven't migrated anywhere so far.
Chiplugudde is just 10 km from
Thirthahalli towards Koppa road. Start from Thirthahalli towards Koppa for 3 km
and take left turn towards Chiplugudde road where is there is sign board and
drive for 7 more km to reach the place.
