About Mekedatu Day Outing :

Mekedatu is located along Kaveri on the border of the Chamarajanagar and Ramanagara Districts. 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. At Mekedatu, 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. Sangama is the confluence of two rivers – Arkavathi and Kaveri. It's around 2 hours’ drive from Bangalore.  Arkavathi will be just a small stream for most of the year and will have some water during the monsoons.  At Sangama, the Kaveri River is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence and flows through a narrow 5-10 meter gorge at Mekedatu. Legend has it that the channel was so narrow that sheep would jump across, hence the name Mekedatu (Meke = sheep, Datu = cross in Kannada). Chunchi Falls is an almost 50-foot-high cascade of falls that is fed by the river Arkavati. Chunchi Falls lies en route to Mekedatu and Sangama.
