Mekedatu and Sangama of Kaveri and Arkavathi river Kanakapura Ramanagara tourism Karnataka tourism
Mekedatu and Sangama of Kaveri and Arkavathi river Kanakapura Ramanagara tourism Karnataka tourism. Mekedatu (Kannada:ಮೇಕೆದಾಟು) is a location along Kaveri in Kanakapura Taluk of Ramanagara District. Sangama is the place where Arkavati merges with Kaveri. From this point, about 3.5 kilometers downstream, the river Kaveri flows through a deep and narrow gorge. Mekedatu' means 'goat's leap' in Kannada). The name comes from an incident which is believed to have been witnessed by herdsmen in that area a long time ago. It is said that a goat being chased by a tiger made a desperate attempt to save its life by leaping from one side of the gorge and managed to cross over the raging river below, whereas the tiger did not attempt to replicate this feat, and abandoned the chase. The point where the goat leapt has widened since then from erosion caused by the river Cauvery. It is about 110 km from Bengaluru via Kanakapura. There is also some mythological significance to this place (both Sangama and Mekedatu). As per one version, the goat (meke) that is believed to have leapt across the Kaveri was Lord Shiva in disguise. On both rocky precipices of the gorge, one can find strange holes, whose shapes resemble goats' hooves, though several times larger. It is believed that only divine goats could have marked their 'footprints' in such hard rocks.
At Mekedaatu, the Kaveri runs through a deep, narrow ravine of hard granite rock. The river, which is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence (at Sangama) flows through the hardly 10-meter-wide gorge at Mekedatu. It is said that a goat could leap over it, giving the falls the name Goat's Leap
The water flows very fast through the gorge, gouging pits in the rocky riverbed. The rocks are slippery making it difficult to climb down the gorge. It is dangerous to swim in the river due to the hard and slippery rocks. Despite warning signs indicating that it is dangerous to swim in the gorge many people attempt it. There have been numerous incidents of people drowning at this place. You will have to first drive to Sangama and then proceed to Mekedatu from there.
Once you reach Sangama you have to take a boat ride to reach the other side of the river. Then you can board a bus which keeps running every half an hour till 5 in the evening. 5.30 pm is the last bus from Mekedaatu to Sangama. After that no civilians are allowed in this place

Most beautiful natural water park I’ve ever seen! Imagine the river being a hundred or so feet higher equal to the wear marks on the rocks? I don’t know how fast the current would have been or if sections were controlled in pools but the whole place looks like a fun swimming playground. Notice how many women are flocked to see this place they know where the fun is supposed to be.
Very nicely captured.

Nice place bro I had been here 4 years ago at that time there was no barricades even at the exact spot of Mekedatu there was no barricades or ropes you can go as far down as you can I had been there almost to the edge of the cliff the water currents are very powerful anyone falls into it then it can be fatal But the point you made about the mesh that's true if the government keeps building barricades n not allow us to reach the area to enjoy it's beauty then what's the point? I am lucky that I had been to many places before the barricades came up Good video bro 😎😎😎

Firstly, I am sorry that this could be a long comment & I apologize for the same. I have really liked the videos not because there are less videos on the travel section but because you take efforts for some minute details in your videos to show us & the truth. Also, l see that you take great interest in showcasing river systems especially dams in your videos. That said, I would really like the information that your trying to project in your videos, especially on the dam systems, through a drone camera with your comments, will be really wonderful. It is because I see you try to show us the whole structure, as it is in the current time, and also give us a bird's-eye view perspective explaining from where exactly & how the river water is flowing & entering the dam area, the appropriate area the water is getting dammed and how exactly (from where it is getting released) the water flows from the dammed area. When commenting this, I clearly understand the monetary aspect and the personal efforts it takes even for the current videos that you are trying to show us. But believe me, if this sort of extra efforts are take now, maybe in coming future or even in the life time of your future too, these informations on different dam structures that you cover in your videos from the water getting dammed & back again into the rivers system and how exactly different dam structures have been working would help many commoners to revere the water they are getting easily accessed to, and not to mention even the civil engineers to study on structures & how to better implement it in the future will be enormous. I too agree that these efforts & informations may not pay off well in your in your lifetime but it is always one's life efforts that yields results which is why there is family structure in our society and in time & again proved that is not always true as humans believe. Also, I am going to put out this same comment on different videos of yours that you have released through your previous video logs so that it is clearly visible to you even if you care or not... Finally, thanking you if you have gone through this comment carefully and jai Karnataka
Superb
