    It is place at the banks of kaveri backwaters behind brindavan garden. We had pleasurable moments with my friends at this place. It used to be a every weekend spot to chill with my friends and sometimes with my family. Just half an hour drive from Mysore. Water is clean and we used to swim especially during winter and summer when water recedes. During rainy season it is full and looks dangerous and bring muddy water from uphill. There is a Hamlet with fishermen who catch from the same river and make yummy fish fry to sell to the visitors. Don't miss this place if are anywhere nearby.

    The place was so beautiful ❤️ I just loved that place. It was like almost a beach- waves, wind. Everything was feeling so good. I would strongly recommend to visit this place at evening and don't visit the place alone as it may not be safe especially after evening time. Swimming in the water is not recommended And please don't litter the place🙏. Carry all the trash with you

    One of the best scenic backwaters, really beautiful for camping, has stunning view. Located just 170+ Km from Banglore is an ideal stop on the way to mysore or coorg, and best spot for weekend rides

    This is around 25 KMS from city center. This is a secluded place. Very few people are aware of this place and relatively crowd free. What we realised on our way back is that this place is banned for tourists and police levy hefty price our way back. We were even told by few villagers that police keep frequenting this place. There are boards placed inconspicuously in few places banning visitors. Although picturesque, please avoid this place as it is illegal.

    Nice place away from crowd. The drunkard reached there too; you can see litter all over with broken bottles. I hope people get some civic sense.

    Very nice view of backwaters. Sunset is simply mesmerising. A popular shooting place for photography. The place is bit slippery so non-surefoots need to be careful

    Visiting Backwaters in Mysore was an absolute delight! The journey from Bangalore was totally worth it to witness the breathtaking sunset at this picturesque spot. The tranquil surroundings and the mesmerizing view of the sun bidding adieu to the day left me in awe. I'm already looking forward to my next visit; it's a must-see gem! 🌅✨ and it’s a SunsetMagic spot

    Good place to visit for one day plan, but dont go more inside the water, after 2-3meters they have digged wells inside the water that is 15feet in depth, and 4cases Or death have been reported as said by the locals. Just been near the shore and enjoy. And visit it between 9am-11am because after 12pm the locals take fee of entry.

    Now it is getting bit popular, so many people are visiting on holidays. Nice place near mysuru for a evening drive and to watch sunset. When you visit KRS dam or venugopal swamy temple, you can just take glimps of this plave too.

    The Blue Lagoon of Krs backwaters such an amazing less explored place! But it is completely filled with plastic bottles and alcohol bottles i really don’t understand why do people do that! Amazing view to chill out with friends and family! Do not litter the place

  • 5/5 Rakshith K R. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the best places to visit if you are in Mysore.. But please don't make the surroundings dirty.. have some sense in mind while visiting these places.. Please don't get into the water.. the starting will be plane but if you walk a little bit inside there are old channels submerged inside and you cannot make out and they are really dangerous.. Good for evening visits..

    The best part is you can drive your car till the river bank. Since there are no life guards, it is important that you do not get deep into the waters.

👍👍 One of the best weekend evening gateway for Mysureans .. During Summer / Water level is low you can drive your car or any vehicle near to the water only . During Rainy season it will be full filled feels like a beach experience The ambience is good but the visitors coming here should be responsible...
